English edition of AtD

[Tore Rye Andersen]

Amazon.co.uk finally has a picture of the English edition of AtD. The cover 
is practically the same - it doesn't have the 'torn' corners of the American 
edition, though. The mysterious red seal also seems a bit clearer on the 
picture of the English edition. See for yourselves:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Against-Day-Thomas-Pynchon/dp/0224080954/sr=8-2/qid=1160556307/ref=sr_1_2/026-1772774-2484453?ie=UTF8&s=books

As with most of Pynchon's novels - Vineland being the only exception - 
Jonathan Cape is the publisher. Note, by the way, that the English version 
is only 960 pages long. I seriously doubt that Cape cut 160 pages from the 
novel (or perhaps they wanted to get back at the Americans for cutting 
Lawrence Norfolk's Lemprière's Dictionary so ruthlessly?), so I guess that 
the English readers can prepare themselves for severe eyestrain.
Hmmm - should I go for the American edition and strained armmuscles or the 
English edition and strained eyes? Heck, I'll go for BOTH!
