Actually Delusions would have bigger print: the chapter titled "GPD" begins on p. 163 of Mogul and p. 195 of Delusions. The manuscript most likely was indeed very similar between them (but not identical -- opening sentence of Delusions includes "red upholstered furniture" omitted from Mogul). I'm just curious if editors allowed a piece of vital information in one but not the other. It was worth $8 to find out (Alibris still has another copy for $11).

Obviously research overlapped between them, but they had different editors and publishers, so perhaps one let certain information through that the other did not. Until I read Mogul I won't know for sure. > > > > Bill Robertson > > #5939 > > > ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
