ppint. 13th Oct 2020		thanks, david; i o.d.'ed on moorcock somewhere in the middle of the elric books, iirc°, and gave away almost all i had by him - except a couple of collections - before going up to york. ° - even my favourite jerry cornelius story is norman spinrad's ''the last hurrah of the golden horde''..

David Whiteley 12th Oct 2020		ppint, After reading your comment regarding the revisions to this book I have compared the 1973 version to the 1979 revised edition and found that the changes are minor. For example, all references to Jerry owning or driving a Cadillac are removed, Mrs Cornelius (Jerry's mum) is mentioned a few times but she doesn't appear in the story and a character's name is changed to Una (Persson). Also a reference to The Moody Blues and Manfred Mann has gone. There are a few more small changes such as Jerry using a stronger expression than "Go stuff yourself" and that's about it.

David Whiteley 12th Oct 2020		Added front and back covers of Mayflower's 2nd printing from 1973. 1st published in the US by Avon Books in an edited form. UK edition published in full. The first three Jerry Cornelius stories, "Preliminary Data" first published in New Worlds Vol 40 #153 August 1965 made up the first few and last few pages of this novel, followed by "Further Information" New Worlds Vol 49 #160 December 1965 and "Phase Three" New Worlds Vol 49 #60 added another 40 pages. The rest of the story is all new. Even though this is the first Jerry Cornelius novel, in his Note to the reader in the revised edition 1979 Moorcock says The Cornelius books could be read in any order.
