David H. asked David Anthony Durham:

Hi David, I read somewhere that the first Acacia book was revised after it was originally published. I'm trying to track down the new version for a reread, but it's not very clear to me how to find it. Where can I find it (edition/printing/publisher)? Thanks!

David Anthony Durham David, yes, I did a little revising. The hardback and the massmarket paperback are the original version. But when my publisher decided to do a trade paperback edition also, I asked if I could make a few changes. They said yes. So look for the trade edition - also by Anchor.

I didn't add material or change any of the plot lines or events. It was really just that I wanted to streamline the opening part a bit. I thought (as some readers did as well!) that the pacing could be a little faster. So, I went at it with a scalpel. Hopefully, a reader won't notice anything missing. They'll just get to Part Two a little faster!
