Early Pictures of Pynchon

[Robert Nelson]

Mead has pictures from Pynchon's Senior year. These are from the year prior
to that,

Enjoy the site, which is my personal collection. Of particular note are:

BOMARC Service News - Pynchon worked for this Boeing magazine from
1960-1962. I'm aware of only three sets of this magazine in existence.

Mason & Dixon Uncorrected Proof (as opposed to the ARC). There were only 5
copies of this, and only 2 of the first state.

Vineland Prepublication Draft - One of five copies pulled from a working
draft for the Publicity Department, since Pynchon and Ray Roberts were
editing the work right up to the publication date.

Limited Editions of Slow Learner (20 copies) and Vineland (8 copies) of
loose, unopened, sewn signatures.
