Notes 2
A (Brief) Afterword by Sirin
- 1 Some on my editorial staff have suggested that we should include an unexpurgated version of Duncan’s Early History of Ambergris as an appendix to this edition. However, I cannot acquire that text, as I returned my only copy to Janice and do not know what she did with it. Moreover, an edition that combined Janice’s manuscript with the complete Early History would put even Hoegbotton’s hardbound edition of its seventy-five Southern Island travel pamphlets to shame for sheer size and verbiage.
- 2 No evidence exists to support supposed “Duncan Sightings” at Zamilon and Alfar, for example.
