Korman JunkieI think it says on the page about Pop that you updated it after publication. The copy I have is old, so should I seek out a new one? How much did you change?

The publisher looked after the update. I think it was a matter of changing the term Alzheimers Disease and more corrctly labeling it as CTE, and things like that. More in line with what we now know about sports head imjuries. The story didn't change. And I wonder if you still find it odd. After all, you have to remember it's a Young adult novel, which might make a bit of a difference in content. --GK--
