[edit] Planetary romance
I've either cut the "space opera" references, or change the term to "planetary romance," which seems a more apt category for the first book in particular. I also made a few tweaky stylistic edits and pointed the Showboat World references to a newish article on that book. (I think that article's title needs to be fixed, though--it isn't capitalized properly. Maybe in another session.) RLetson 21:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Editions and Cover Scans
I've added cover scans for what I believe to be the first abridged edition (Avalon, 1957) and the first full text edition (Ace, 1978). However, the text originally indicated the Ace double was first. I don't think this is correct as the List of Ace Titles in first DGS series lists the double as 1958. There is a 1957 Ace non-double. However, the bibliography in the Underwood Miller book indicates the Avalon edition as first. I've corrected the text accordingly. I had a similar question regarding the full text editions (the Ace vs the Underwood-Miller, both 1978). Jack Vance home page and archive lists the Ace first so I opted for that scan. I'll defer to anyone who has better bibliographical information.--Rtrace 22:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
