 jason cosmo non-trilogy #1:
allegedly humorous fantasy (yr hmbl srppnt. has not read these,
and received no feedback from anyone who bought them in IMT):
dan mcgirt's written the three published in mmpb (and in the uk
in pan p/bs) were intended to be the start of an ongoing series,
but a change of policy at new american library suddenly led to
this (amongst other publishing commitments) being abandoned;
he has since begun to self-publish substantially revised versions:


#1: ''jason cosmo'' (1989) (this novel)
(rewritten as ''hero wanted'' (2009), q.v., with different sequel plus ''internal sequel'' e-story set during #1)
#2: ''royal chaos'' (1990), q.v.
(rewritten as "royal crush" (2015) (e-book only, at least so far; now #3, following new #2 "noble cause" (2010) (e-book only, at least so far))
#3: ''dirty work'' (1993), q.v.
((comprehensively rewritten, and diverging even further,) new #4: "dirty deeds" (20??)(e-book yet?)

 pan macmillan pan books p/b first printing, first uk edition

cover art by josh kirby (signed, also credited)
cover price £3.99, $9.95, $9.99, $10.95, or 10.99? australia, $12.95 or $14.95 new zealand?
not for sale in canada
224pp. including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising
should bear printing history number line '9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1'

presumed undated near-identical second pan books p/b printing not yet seen/seen reported
should bear printing history number line ''9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2''

distinguish both from
near-identical undated third pan books p/b printing:
printing history number line drops digits '1' & '2', leaving 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
cover price £3.99, australia $10.99, new zealand $14.95
not for sale in canada
still states first british publication on back cover

so there is room for misidentification of which printing is held, unless one consults the indicia
