The auction house comments: "Inscribed copies of Pynchon's works are extremely uncommon. Pynchon's signature is among the rarest of any living author.
"He is ranked by Time magazine as one of the top ten most reclusive celebrities, joined on the list by the likes of J.D. Salinger, Howard Hughes, Marcel Proust, Emily Dickinson, etc."
