p. 341, line 2: "Ah, when is it not." Obviously a question, should this stand as an erratum? Godshawl 11:52, 17 December 2006 (PST) A question, but also a rhetorical question, so I'm not sure the ommission of a question mark here counts as a proper error. Torerye 02:03, 18 December 2006 (PST)

A question without a question mark is a stylistic touch that Pynchon has used throughout his career. It's not a mistake. Bleakhaus 10:41, 18 December 2006 (PST)

Spine binding red and green

The spine of my copy of ATD is bound in red (or reddish) buckram. On all other copies I have seen, the spine is bound in light green. At times publishers will change the binding because of a revision in the text requiring that change. But I have, as yet, found no such revision. Unless, of course, the two states of the binding have something to do with the pervasive doubling in the novel.
