BUT, Trollope wrote for serialized publication. The first part of a given book or series was in magazine print before the later parts were even written, as I understand it. Wolfe worked over the New Sun books FOUR times before initial publication.
Eh? Was the MS complete before initial publictaion?
If so what caused the delays in first the UK edition?
A friend recommended me TBotNS before the third volume was published. When it was I bought the three books [Arrow, 1st UK pbk] believing that it was a trilogy. I was very upset to find that there was a fouth and I had to wait for it.
The ISFDB gives 1980, '81, 81 and 82 as first publication dates which I would assume to be US: can't get to my copies to check as I'm at work.
