Talk:You Shall Know Our Velocity

Untitled
A second edition of the hardback edition was published in 2003 in which the extra section is marked in red. This second edition was given a different name (Sacrament) and was published by McSweeney's in limited quantities, each autographed by the author. --Brooks 05:27, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Is there not an (!) Exclamaiton at the end of the book's title??
Shouldn't that be reflected in the name of the article? Xsxex 19:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point Amazon seems to imply that the actual title of the book does not exlude it. If you can find a more authoritative source, I say move it! -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The original hardcover had no exclamation point. The book was then retitled "Sacrament", and then re-retitled with an exclamation point. I say leave as is. --Zinka

Infobox
I've updated the infobox to reflect the first edition details, as is standard practice for book infoboxes. It still needs a picture of the first edition book to replace the picture of a reprint copy that's still there.

Also, it is probably worth noting that the first edition was unusual in that it had no dustcover or title page and contents, as the story started on the front board and contined inside. H. Carver 04:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Extra content editions
I have a trade paperback (with exclamation mark in the title) published July 2003 by Vintage, and it states "Previously Retitled as Sacrament", as well as "Note: This paperback edition includes significant changes and additions".

But... the extra segment narrated by Hand is nowhere to be found here. Apparently not all of the paperback editions, contrary to the article.

Yes, I am in the same boat as this user. Also, the article states "The novel starts off one of the protagonists falling to his death over a tropical waterfall." My copy has him "drowning in a burning ferry" on the Guaviare River. If this is another difference between revisions, perhaps this should be noted. 165.142.249.81 (talk) 23:34, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
