  • Published as preliminary material by editor Walter Hooper in the October 1985 HBJ collection (and other 1985/86 eds. presumably), as two items: 1. Contents listing "Introduction by Walter Hooper   7"; p7 heading "Introduction"; signed p20 "Walter Hooper // Oxford // 23 May 1984". 2. Contents listing "The Boxen Manuscripts   21"; p21 heading identical; signed p22 "W.H."
  • Published as an appendix by Walter Hooper in the April 2008 HarperCollins collection, as one item: 1. Contents listing "The History of Boxen by Walter Hooper   229"; p[229] is a title page for the item, with an illustration by one of the Lewis brothers; text spans p230-40, signed p240 "Walter Hooper // Oxford, 23 May 1984". Here "The Boxen Manuscripts" is a heading in the middle of p239. Except headings and signatures there is no difference from the 1985 text.
