Well lads, here it is. A true blue first edition. Happy (almost) birthday to me...
>>9615757
Unimpressed. Sell it and get a first edition Infinite Jest if you want to brag on this board.
>>9615757
such a shit book. you got meme'd.
>>9615767
b-but infinite jest is comparatively trash senpai
>>9615757
Well cucked, memeboi!
>>9615757
The frank miller cover is way better.
>>9615757
happy birthday anon
>>9615836
None can compete with the Italian one though
>>9615836
That's the other one I have. It is a great cover. Doesn't catch the psychedelic feel of the book like this cover does, though, with its acidic blue and orange.
>>9615838
Thank you anon
>>9615840
Jap one and the pin up one are better you pleb
>>9615883
post em
>>9615892
I'm >>9615877 and this was the edition I was talking about
>>9615883
Also that other anon, but I believe this is the pinup edition he was talking about
For some reason, i love the vintage.
it's not the
>>9615980
Thank you anon. I agree that Miller's is less fitting, but I do think it looks good regardless. But I prefer my first edition!
this is the best one
lol why are they so ugly? I bought mine at the Barnes n Noble and it's sooo cool. I dont think I'll read it though, the author uses really nerdy language (and I think he's white lol ew ew)
Behold the german version!
>>9615972
Love this one too.
My 1st/1st is currently in transit. I'm excited. The price has been steadily increasing so it's good to get them now before they're entirely out of reach.
>>9616492
Exciting feeling. How much you get yours for?
>>9616482
The End of the Parabola? Interesting
>>9616202
orange and blue covers are the only good ones
frank miller's edition is still censored
>>9616497
Its a gift from an out of state friend who collects books and is ridiculously generous. I got Women and Men as a gift as well, so I feel pretty lucky. Once I start making more money I'd like to do the same thing for others.
I have a first edition Mason & Dixon.
Any trust fund biddies wanna date?
>>9616568
Those are like 12 dollars.
>>9615936
>>9615840
>>9616603
that price can only go up though...
>>9616617
True, which is why I have one. Also Against the Day.
>>9616617
Patently false.
>>9616482
Who is Enden and why does Pynhon want hime to die?
>>9616654
t. wants to buy up all the first edition mason & dixons
>>9615840
>Un screamo mia pasta ravioli vola el cielo pizzeria
Wow what a hack
>>9615757
>no price on the cover
nope, its a bookclub edition
>>9615840
*Blocks your path*
>>9615942
No it's not
>>9615959
Boohoo people don't like your shitty kaleidoscope
It's this one >>9615936
>>9615877
And Bob Dylan won the Nobel in literature, so...
>>9616723
You're wrong. The first edition has a price on the inner front flap of the dustcover, as well as a four-digit serial number. My copy has both of these.
>>9616862
(I'm OP)
>>9616862
im just yanking your chain
>>9616918
gotcha
I really like the spanish one.
>>9616202
bitch please
>>9615972
this is so goddamn lazy, i'm amazed it got past brainstorming stage
did this edition ever come out? it was listed on some websites a few years back iirc
>>9617453
Seriously. It looks pretty nice I guess but it's so bland as a cover.
>>9616760
That's a mess senpai.
>>9617429
Best cover ITT
>>9615757
How much was it?
>>9618526
About £550, I think. I usually see them go for around £1000 son I'm pretty chuffed.
>>9619268
Post more pics, some without DJ pls
>>9620769
I may or may not have sneakily lifted this out of the giftbag, to admire it, before I was supposed to. Person who gifted it to me won't be present when I officially open it tomorrow morning, but I still felt guilty and returned it to its proper place. I'll be able to post more pics tomorrow.
>>9617605
can you explain it?
>>9620843
Have you read the novel? He references this picture in the text more than once (I believe).
>>9620857
Yeah, I finished it back in December. I honestly don't remember this particular reference, though.
>>9617486
So is the book.
You twat
>>9619268
>£550
first edition fetishisation is a tricky game, anon. Hope your investment keeps value.
>>9615936
>Jūryoku no Niji
Sounds better than in Spanish. El arcoiris de gravedad my ass.
>>9617429
winner
>>9622316
Not my cash, anon - and it often goes for twice that. In worse condition, too.
>paying hundreds over the price of any other edition
I'll never understand this. Enjoying my $0 kindle copy here.
>>9616202
This. Though I'd unironically buy that one faux wordsworth classics edition someone posted once with a guy in a pig suit in front of a photo of a V-2 launch.
>>9622719
I'm glad you're happy :)
>>9615840
Non l'avevo neanche considerata perché l'estetica delle nostre pubblicazioni è talmente al di sopra della merda grafica che fanno per i libri inglesi che non ne valeva la pena.
Le copertine inglesi sembrano tutte fatte per libri di Tom Clancy.
Noi che siamo cresciuti a pane e Adelphi gli caghiamo in testa.
I didn't even know there was a Dutch translation. The cover is shit, though.
>>9623166
Calmati.
>>9623166
Sono d'accordo con te, però ora prova a difendere questa
