I see on Amazon that Tor will be releasing a new paperback printing of "The Tomb".
(1) Is this printing based on the 1998 version or has it been revised again since the cover says something about author's definitive version or something like that?
(2) I read The Tomb way back when. How much different is the newly revised version? (I rarely if ever re-read books).
Thanks,
Steve

[SIZE="3"]This will be the re-revised Borderlands version. The story is the same, but the prose has been cleaned up and had the fat trimmed. If you do reread it you find it moves faster. Sort of a less-is-more situation.[/SIZE]

I'm jealous that you guys are at the GU, and amazed that you have time to e-mail the board. Just a thank-you for remembering all those "left behind!" Have a mud slide for me! And make sure you guys take pictures! Have a great time!
