He added 20,000 extra words, apparently, which his editor
had insisted be cut from the original. I think the editor
was right: the extra verbiage made it longwinded and dull:
not a bad book, but certainly nothing special. I gather
it's hard to find the original version these days; I got
mine second-hand from eBay.
