FIRST RUN EDITIONS

They are soon removed from the market and replaced with corrected editions. Collectors the world over seek out First Run Editions because of their special idiosyncrasies.
RECLAIMED PIRATED COPIES
Author Rachael L. McIntosh cancelled her contract with the original publisher of Security Through Absurdity when it was discovered that unapproved versions of Book One: Little Yellow Stickies were appearing on Amazon. Some of these unapproved books had her name spelled wrong and sometimes the wrong title. The text in the pirated copies appears to be that of three versions before final approval. Interestingly, two of the publisher’s editors, who had worked on this book, quit right around publication. It is theorized, but not proven, that an editor may have taken the unapproved manuscript files and published the book. This book, while in development, was discussed many times before official publication as important due to its content.
