          Monte:
          Nah, must be the Vibe-Morgan-University Press cartel at work.

Good Point . . . .

But seriously folks, $80.00 for a used copy of the facsimile of "Meritorious 
Price"? For that kind of money, the very least they could have done is 
reset the type, perhaps a touch of Websterization to smooth out the 
reading process? Maybe an explanatory footnote or two? A Translation 
of some of the more antique or arcane passages perhaps?

It's not like your local library has a copy either.

And Steven Weisenburger's "A Gravity's Rainbow Companion"—in
print in a reasonably priced QP edition, now in its second printing—is
as useful a book as can be found in the Pynchon Lit-Crit sub-genre. A 
lot of work went into that book and it sells because anyone trying to 
thread themselves through GR's labyrinth will find the "Companion" as 
useful a guide as anything out there.
