Hi,

I was going to send this only to Mark A. Mandel about his 
Website.  But then I read the email from S S. Hafer.

I was trying to find something in The Book of Jhereg and
came across this difference between it and Jhereg.  This
is in reference to Mark's website section On Terminology.  

Jhereg Chapter 4, third paragraph, last sentence (page 49)

"He may be the highest-paid receptionist on Dragaera."

The Book of Jhereg same section (page 36)

"He may be the highest-paid receptionist in the world."


I think the reference Steven made to "set on Dragaera" 
in Acknowledgments in POTD was "introduced maliciously".

So those of us who read Jhereg in 1983 think of Dragaera
also as a world.  Heh, and so does anyone who reads the 
back cover of The Book of Jhereg.  The back cover of both 
books say "The first was a smattering of witchcraft--
badly thought of on Dragaera".   


When I used Dragaera Search to see if this was mentioned, 
I came across the whole amorphia/chaos change.  I had 
thought the only differences were page numbers.   

Then I remember reading on Mark's website about Steven's
editor putting in a line about "our native creatures" and
I checked and it is gone from the Book of Jhereg.

Jhereg (page 3)  "Nothing of any significance there, it 
was mostly Jhereg, or an occasional Teckla (each Dragaeran 
House bears the name of one of our native creatures), who
came into our restaurant."

The Book of Jhereg (page 4) "Nothing of any significance 
there, it was mostly Jhereg, or an occasional Teckla, who
came into our restaurant."


I apologize if you already knew this.

Bye.
