I assume “simultaneous wraps” means trade paperback? That’s the version I bought at Forbidden Planet in London back in 1991.

I have a copy signed by both Burroughs and Wilson, with the “(1989)” following Wilson’s signature, without any rubber stamp or pencil marking. I assume that the pencil marking noted in Shoaf’s listing was added after the book had left Burroughs’ and Wilson’s hands.

James Grauerholz removed from the TA manuscript a piece entitled “yes in the golden days there were still purple patches” because it was ‘…straight memoir material and belongs with the book of memoirs Bill is working on.’ In its place he substituted “The FUs” and “Book of Shadows” per letter dated March 3, 1988.

The ten that were signed by both Burroughs and Wilson were a part of the 100 total. Wilson added the date (1989)after his signature in an effort to mark the limitation, since there was nothing to preclude a later signed copy as being one of the limited signed books(which is why Allen A. at Quill & Brush created the number stamp). The ‘number stamp’ appears on the last page of ten copies, below THE MANUSCRIPT WAS PREPARED…information and above one of Don Williams’ tornadoes.
