Radio Free Albemuth

US posthumous original; the census claim is correct. Written in 1976 and set aside after Dick reworked the material into VALIS; Arbor House acquired it in 1985 and published it from the corrected typescript Dick had given his friend Tim Powers. There is no earlier edition in any territory and no original-language precedence issue. The first British publications both come two years later and are true seconds: the Grafton paperback (London, 1987) and the Severn House hardcover (London, 1987).
