Howdy, I rarely buy books in hardback, even from my favourite authors, but I recently found a compromise for Paths of the Dead, namely an advance uncorrected proof of the book available on e-bay. It was a little cheaper than a real hardback, and I figured it might be collectable, or at least interesting. I also plan to buy the final copy when it's in paperback. However, until then, I have a question. Has anyone here seen both the advance uncorrected proof and the most recent printing of the book? I'm interesting in learning if there are any significant differences between the two texts. Just flipping through, I saw that the Afterword and the About the Author were not included (although blank pages with the appropriate headers were), and I wondered if there was anything else missing from this version.
