from NYT Sunday Book Review:
GALLEY SLAVES: Book critics who hung on to their advance reader?s editions of ?Cold Mountain? made a wise decision. These rare copies are selling for as much as $750 on some Web sites. The Penguin Press, the publisher of Thomas Pynchon?s forthcoming novel ?Against the Day,? is trying to keep tabs on where Pynchon?s coveted advance editions end up. They?re writing the critic?s name in each copy of ?Against the Day? they send out. I suspect, in a few cases, this could make the editions even more valuable. On the used book site abe.com, for example, you can buy ? for a mere $4,750 ? John Updike?s copy of Tom Wolfe?s ?Man in Full,? the same copy Updike read and marked up before writing his memorably negative review in The New Yorker. (? ?A Man in Full? amounts to entertainment, not literature, even literature in a modest aspirant form.?) According to the ad on abe.com, Updike?s marginalia includes ?ha,? ?vulgar writing? and ?whole book a lecture by stories.? But back to Pynchon: his novel is due to be released on Nov. 21. His last one, ?Mason & Dixon,? spent eight weeks on the list in 1997.
