some details in case useful for something.
The pdf of "The Idiot's Frightful Laughter" was created 12/15/2007 5:20:23 PM
by sheridan I presume.
I went back in my files to see when I purchased it
These are my notes:
Sheridan published his manuscript using an online site lulu.com
I purchased a downloadable pdf of it for $25, on 11/09/08, using my paypal account.
It was at:

LoginI created a modified pdf to rotate and unstretch some distorted pages (actually I should also check based on my notes below, I think it had the whole thing duplicated ..i.e. all the pages and I removed the redundancy? will have to check)
The copy everyone has seen has that modification in 2008. (11/25/2008 apparently)
It's interesting that Sheridan sent the book to lulu in 2007, the same year he published the Parachutist article.
He claims he uploaded it to lulu by mistake.
The picture on the cover of the burning villages, he said a friend drew for him.
In my notes, I wrote:
The downloadable pdf has a problem. which Sheridan described there, this way in an apparent note to the publisher that was never followed. I don't know if "Dog" and "Dog1" has any meaning in this comment Sheridan made at the lulu.com url for the manuscript.
A grievous error has been committed. The novel, The Idiot's Frightful Laughter, has been duplicated. What's more copies of the covers both front and back have been inserted in the middle of the novel separating the duplicate copies.
Please delete edition logged in as "Dog" and retain "Dog1"> Furthermore remove duplicate copies of cover(s) and retain cover marked "Chromo Graphics." The upload them. I cannot make the deletions with my computer.
