To update...someone reading these postings via inklings.io
sent me an address for Anderson that worked and resulted in 
a prompt reply.

Apparently the 2004 text note is frozen as-is because 
Hammond & Scull are now responsible for such things but
the history of the Ballantine text remains more complex
than stated in the still-reprinted note and this still
needs to be corrected.

Do H&S read here these days?
Or should HarperCollins be approached?
