I am relevantly new here, and I am sorry if this is old business. I ran 
across a book, "Pictures Showing What Happens on Each Page of Thomas 
Pynchon's Novel 'Gravity's Rainbow.'" It is by Zak Smith, and was published 
in January of 2007 by Tin House Books. I found it on the Chapters.indigo.ca 
site, but it must be on amazon.com, as well. Any info about the book would 
be appreciated.

Thanks,  Page
