first copies

I noted another interesting comment from Radomir. Talking about Pauls first draft he said:
"While I'm sure the final version of your text will be more refined, tight, concise and smooth in the transitions, I'll still want my own copy of the "extended cut" loose-leaf binder original, and not just for the collector or sentimental value. Some stuff is bound to have to be cut, and I'll still want to refer to the fuller version from time to time as a reference. No need to trouble your future publisher about that, I'll still purchase plenty of copies of the bound first edition (signed)...

And I thought that too, maybe there will be an opportunity while this is happening for us all on the forum to have our own " extended cut" versions. You know the one that will probably have many of the comments that might not eventually make the final draft. I just think it would be wonderful to have all those initial thoughts , and how much fun it will be to compare that to the hardback edition! I know that as far as I am concerned those earlier editions will be collectors items! twigsnapper
