• Notes: Limited to 200 copies Bound with an additional 36, 39, or 75 page signature (at the option of the buyer) containing examples of three different fiction pieces originally published in Pearson's. This record is for variant B which contains and excerpt from George Griffith's The Syren of the Skies; a 25,000 word passage omitted from the book version. Additional data from Chalker/Owings My copy of this vatiant B has matching 1990 dates on the title page and the copyright page. The copyright page mentions "in an edition of 200 copies, in three variants as follows" It then lists variant A through variant C and their differences. No mention of how many copies were in each variant. Below this my copy has B15 written in a green ink. The front free end page on this copy has a price of £50 written in pencil but is written over an erased price that ended in a 5. I assume this was the price of the seller I bought this book from in February of 2023. The contents page mentions 25 items on various page numbers, but not the "B" numbered pages with the George Griffith piece. It starts on page b2 after an unnumbered half-title for the story section, and ends on page b39. The Checklist and added indexes runs through page 104. On the lower half of page 104 through page 140 are 21 items that George has added that apparently were taken from various issues of Pearson's Weekly. Bound in a black cloth with gold stamping to the spine.
