A note from Mr. Anderson

Just noticed that Paul Anderson, editor (and blogger) of the new Orwell in Tribune book, answered our question about original material therein:

There's nothing in the book that's not in Peter Davison's CWGO: the point of it is to present the Tribune columns in a single volume as a coherent body of work, which has not been done before. I claim no great originality in putting the book together - Bernard Crick suggested it should be done more than 20 years ago - but I hope the introduction, footnotes and biographies of key players on Tribune add something new even for afficianados of Davison's exemplary work.

For which thanks, and glad Tribune is going to get some royalties.

New question: do they still have any of the unused submissions that Orwell supposedly left jammed into drawers because he couldn't say no to a starving writer?
