Textual differences
There are a few differences between earlier and later editions that might either be corrections, or misguided "corrections" by an over-zealous copyeditor— in speculative fiction, especially with a playful author, it's not always easy to tell what is a mistake. Here's how the Vintage trade paperback (B) differs from all earlier US editions (A):
- "US gorillas" (A) -> "US guerrillas" (B)
- "mickeymouse" (A) -> "Mickey Mouse" (B)
- "sexlife" (A) -> "sex life" (B)
- "The Greek Berets" (A) -> "The Green Berets" (B)
