Pynchon and his editor Ray Roberts made corrections to the proof up until press day, and no advance reading copies or uncorrected proofs were issued for this book, but Little Brown's publicity department needed something, so they did spiral-bind five photocopies of an advanced state. Those five and these eight sets of the printed book are the only advanced copies recorded. One spiral bound galley appeared at auction in 1997; another copy of this set appeared in 2003.
