Maybe it was someone else, maybe it was no one at all The reissue appears unchanged, apart from the photos and a couple or so clumsy mistakes.

I managed to obtain a replacement nearly 5 years ago, and you may find the following account of my first encounter with the book interesting. It can be found at: http://kidr77.blogspot.com/2013/08/live-let-play-over-here-elsie.html<br /><br />I'll intend to buy the reissue as well.
