Dick wrote approximately 30,000 extra words for the first book publication in 1966 of his 1964 novella "The Unteleported Man." However, his book editor rejected the expanded text and reprinted the original novella version instead. A newly revised publication of Dick's expanded text was planned towards the end of his life, but he died before its completion. Dick's original expanded version from the 1960s was then used in the posthumous 1983 USA edition of "The Unteleported Man" (except for 3 gaps due to missing manuscript pages, which were published as is). However, Dick's largely complete, revised version of the expanded text was used for the British publication in 1984, which carried the new title "Lies, Inc." (with 2 remaining manuscript gaps filled by John Sladek). Dick's original "missing pages" text for both of these expanded versions was then discovered and published in 1985 in the Philip K. Dick Society Newsletter #8. In 2004, the novel was reprinted in the USA using Dick's later revised "Lies, Inc." version of the text, and corrected for the first time to include the "missing pages" text rather than Sladek's bridging text. (However, there has not been a similar, corrected reprint of Dick's original 1960s expanded text.)
