The layout looks to be identical to the edition published by Paladin in 1986, and features the chapter “Streets of Chance” that replaced “1920 Movies” from the 1966 version.

I always thought it was supplanted by the second edition even in the UK – I always wanted to read it but could never find it in an affordable edition.

Do you know whether the original Paris 1961 text of The Soft Machine has ever been reissued or reprinted in an edition that I could make accessible to my students (presumably by my scanning an excerpt)? I’m having success finding first editions available for viewing, but they’re in rare book libraries and so they have copying restrictions.

I know the Paris edition is not the authorized text, since Burroughs made revisions, but the course is on American writers in Paris, so it’s the Paris text that’s appropriate. And as I understand it, it more clearly demonstrates the cut-up method.

Thanks.
