<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I also did not get a hold of this book and will not be attending tonight's session. Will likely be skipping out on a few more this spring as well -- just have a lot of stuff going on at the moment. That said, I think it's been about a year since I joined, so I wanted to express that I appreciate this space. It's been helping me overcome some personal struggles around speaking up when I have a different perspective or opinion from others in a group.

Shelly – is there anything in your copy about a copyright date? I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon had grabbed the earlier version, which ISFDB says shows no signs of having had its copyright renewed, but I wouldn't assume they did. The first book version was
(c) 1956; the revision was (c) 1975. (NESFA has the latter, but I don't have the stomach to read another version.)<br>

<div>I have read the Project Gutenberg version. The first page reads “ The Project Gutenberg eBook of Police Your Planet”. There should be information on the publisher and publication date of any version on the first few pages.

ISFDB says that Police Your Planet exists in (at least) three versions: the magazine original of 1953, the "abridged" version published in book form in 1956, and the "rewritten" version that I remember coming into the MITSFS in 1975. Which version(s) have
people been reading? Project Gutenberg has the 1956 version, which brings to mind a live performance of "30,000 Pounds of Bananas"; did anyone dig up either of the others?<br>
