It turned out that the publisher of the paperback original [1970] did, and it was this source that was used as manuscript that the proofs were made from. Eventually Dean's paper trail led to his original manuscript and Beastchild was, for the first time, whole and published as it was written. But you know this because you read the new introduction that Dean wrote for the Charnel House edition." (from the Charnel House website). Scarce. Measurements: 10 x 7 x 2".
