My collection here includes all of his earlier novels in American editions. It does not include his short stories or many magazine articles.

The
Big U
The first edition of Neal Stephenson's first book, which was issued as a trade paperback. Mr. Stephenson originally refused to allow this book to be reprinted, although I think it is excellent. Shown is the front cover, the back cover, and the front of the uncorrected proof (the back cover is blank.) |

|
Zodiac
Author's second book, also a trade paperback original. |
|
|
Snow
Crash
Author's third book, and his first science fiction novel. The hardcover is the big kahuna of a Stephenson collection, as they are very scarce. It was issued simultaneously in a trade paperback edition. |

The proof in red printed wrappers is the only such copy I've heard of. From various clues it appears to be precede the edition in tan wrappers. |

In
the Beginning Was the Command Line
This is a review copy, with a letter from the publisher laid in, which is how I know the exact publication date. The letter states that Stephenson is writing his next book, Quicksilver, with a fountain pen. |
