Dear Thomas,
To all intents and purposes “The Facts” is a completely new book. I wanted to write a detailed chronological account of the crimes but the “Uncensored Facts” already did that, so if I wrote a new book I would have been in competition with it and in breach of my contract, so I had to ask my publisher if they intended to keep the book in print. They said yes and asked me to update the existing book, but there was so much new information to put in that I said it would be a complete rewrite, not just updated bits here and there. So although the book is technically a revised edition of the “Uncensored Facts” it’s actually a brand new book with a new title and everything.
Cheers
Paul
