Published September 1991 by Tor Books. Includes the original typewritten manuscript, a signed hardcover first edition, the hand-corrected galley proofs for the paperback reprint, and all of the research materials in the author's possession.
Signed and dated July 16, 2000. Mr. Farmer sold the lot on Ebay through an intermediary. It was offered twice, and both times failed to meet the reserve. I purchased it outright for half the reserve price. I find it amazing that original manuscripts can be purchased so cheaply; they are now only available as computer printouts.
Letter regrarding paperback galleys, signed and dated July 26, 1992. Mr. Farmer expressed surprise that the galleys were sent to him for correction, as that is not standard practice. Nevertheless, he did make some corrections.
Letter from Tor Books giving permission to the author to "dispose of" the manuscript as he sees fit.
