as far as King's memory being a bit faulty, in the course of my research, i have found that to be true. either he contradicts himself in interviews/articles or what he says is just plain incorrect. as far as most of the new information goes, trust me, we won't ever have it become any clearer. we are talking about stuff that was lost or no longer exists, stuff that he may have only mentioned once in passing. it isn't as if these are the sorts of questions that could be answered by manuscripts being discovered in the future, etc. these are literally quotes from King concerning bibliographic details that only he (not Marsha or anyone else) would be able to provide. i say that only he could provide information, because, as some of you know, Rocky and i have provided copies of "lost" King work to his office before, so we are talking about things that, if they weren't cleared up at this precise time through our research and King's generous answers, would have remained mysteries forever unless someone else got King to open up about them, which is highly doubtful, because what interviewer in their right mind is going to ask him about something like The Doors or The Corner?
get excited!
