ppint. 4th May 2020		cultural survey & interplanetary relations bureau series #1: #1: "the still, small voice of trumpets" (1968) (this novel) #2: "the world menders" (1971), q.v. #3: "the light that never was" (1972), q.v. #4: "monument" (1974), q.v. the internal chronology is not necessarily the same as the publication order: most of #4 probably takes place before #1, but since characters don't overlap, this doesn't really impact upon the reader; however, "the world menders" is definitely set after "the still, small voice of trumpets", as the set-up of the second novel involves the entire trained cultural survey's personnel having been transferred to the interplanetary relations bureau as a result of the events therein. a novella, two novelettes and two short stories in the same fairly loose cs/irb setting were published in analog 2001-2003; these still remain to be collected in a bound book: the king who wasn't (novella) vol.cxxi #8(?), 9/2001 perchance to dream (novelette) vol.cxxii #8(?), 9/2002 the pristine planet (short story) vol.123 #3, 3/2003 of the zornler, by the zornler... (ntte) vol.123 #6, 6/2003 the problem of the gourmet planet (ss) vol.123 #10, 11/2003

ppint. 25th Jan 2022		leisure books mmpb undated (save for copyright date) first printing, not first mmpb edition cover art unsigned, uncredited (might be an early hejja, but this is not an attribution) cover price $1.25 208pp? including titles, indica (ha!) etc, end pp. advertising this edition bears a purported isbn, 0843900310, which is a fake. this was common on leisure books mmpbs of the period. the publication year date is estimated by interpolation of cover prices and cat#s.

ppint. 5th May 2020		rapp & whiting ltd. would not retain their independence very much longer, being bought by andré deutsch ltd. and, after a little life further as that publisher's sf imprint, disappearing - presumably, forever. printers a. wheaton and company would also disappear - swallowed up by robert "the bouncing czech" maxwell's british printing corporation, later bpc, later bpcc or bppc or bppcc, later maxwell communications, which was itself broken up after he proved^W demonstrated that bouncing does not equate with buoyancy in a strictly marine mediterranean environment - but not until after he'd defrauded millions out of the entire pension fund he did not own but did, alas, control...
