Well, congrats on that latest gem. My first edition of Lot 49 is just a 
plain old first, with no fancy review material or anything, but I still 
treasure it.
Based on the number of first editions for sale on ABE Books, the first 
edition of Lot 49 in fact seems to be the rarest of the Pynchon first 
editions, but it's still significantly cheaper than both V. and GR: Perhaps 
they make us pay per page rather than availability ;-) If so, one dreads to 
think what a first edition of 'Against the Day' will eventually cost...
Being, as I believe I've implied on more than one occasion, a sucker for 
paratextual materials, may I ask what the typewritten note says?
