" With the exception of a half a dozen new pieces, the articles and essays in this book had been written over a period of about eight years, and first appeared in a variety of publications. I have not made any fundamental alterations to them since retrospective editing would, in a sense, turn them all into products of the present. However, where significant alterations were made by these publications I have reinstated my own versions, and included sections were cut through lack of space." -- page 9 popular Culture Very Good
