JimEss SUBS 16th Jul 2022		Back cover added.



ppint. ● 7th Apr 2020		first edition cover art by victor kalin (signed) cover price 40¢ 160pp. including titles, indica etc.



ppint. ● 7th Aug 2018		#1 & 2 also published in an omnibus edition: "the fuzzy papers" (1979), q.v. #1, 2 & 3 also published in an omnibus edition: ''the complete fuzzy''° (1998), q.v. ° - which, of course, it isn't: it lacks both william tuning and ardath mayhar's contributions to fuzzydom.



ppint. ● 7th Aug 2018		little fuzzy series #1: followed by #2: "the other human race" (1964), q.v. a poor re-titling, and even worse-covering, of what would eventually be republished as: #2a: "fuzzy sapiens" (1976), q.v. but it sold extremely poorly, and piper's third fuzzynovel was rejected, repeatedly, and eventually lost, believed destroyed by him. he committed suicide, alas, in 1964. when the two were republished by ace books in 1976, both with good cover art (by michael whelan), a third novel was commissioned (with authorisation): c: "fuzzy bones" william tuning (1981), q.v. and this, in turn, sold well enough for a second authorised fuzzynovel by another other hand to be commissioned: d: "golden dream: a fuzzy odyssey" ardath mayhar (1982), q.v. where fuzzymatters, for a while, rested. then a "manuscript" - in fact his own typescript - of h. beam piper's original third fuzzynovel turned up in what had been presumed to be assorted junk in a trunk - and there was great excitement, and not a little fear; but, in due course, #3: "fuzzies and other people" (1984), q.v. appeared, and fuzzyfans everywhere were duly delighted°. ° - if not a little exercised as to how - or even whether - to explain away inconsistencies between the developments as imagined and brought to life by william tuning and ardath mayhar, and those actually composed two decades earlier - but hitherto hidden and believed forever lost - by h. beam piper. . .



ppint. ● 28th Oct 2019		first uk edition of the first fuzzynovel, q.v. for series listing, explanation, and links. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 28th Oct 2019		futura publications p/b orbit series, first uk edition cover art unsigned, uncredited; seen credited to wayne anderson, but no authority/reason given cover price 60p (? overseas territories prices ?) 176pp? including titles, indicia etc, end pp. advertising (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. ● 28th Oct 2019		the first "fuzzynovel", with rather more appropriate a cover than that avon books first applied to this sf classic... (this comment is from another edition of this book)
