Michael says this copy of the book is signed! I still have my three original 1970s mass market paperbacks, but I'm afraid they aren't signed.
The latest Michael Johnson piece for Substack, "Thoughts on the Structure of Illuminatus!," takes on one of my favorite literary works. Michael explains that it is an "anatomy" under Norbert Frye's definition and offers other points. I am wary of trying to summarize Michael's new piece, but you can read it here and then read the comments, such as mine.

Isn't today the 50th anniversary? According to Wikipedia (and also according to Wilson himself) it was first released in September 1975.
When I saw this comment, I pulled my vintage paperback copy of "The Eye in the Pyramid" off the shelf, and it says, "First printing, September 1975." So yes, this month is the 50th anniversary of publication.
