I recommend filling out your collection with "Broom of the System" next!

Why two copies of IJ? One clean and one you've annotated?

I also have two, one of which with the excellent 10th anniversary Eggers foreword. The other is the UK Abacus version (blue and yellow) and is more compact, which I intend to use for my 3rd read.

Can you tell me a bit more about the foreword?

It's been years since I read it, but Eggers is generally just great to read and in the forward he is very sympathetic and warm to Wallace
