The original version was just an e-book. This is a revised, and expanded version published as a proper book. I read the ebook and loved it and have ordered the expanded version. Those looking for a straight forward history of Drummond and Cauty with anecdotes and in depth discussions of discographies will be sorely disappointed. This is more of a look at the symbolism around the KLF, taking in all things Discordian and Illuminatian. Definitely well worth a read for those able to twist their minds around the weird.
Thanks, sounds great. I've lost my Illuminati Trilogy years ago to a girl. Time to get into it when my next salary arrives : ) Am 25.09.2013 21:11, schrieb Mark Reed:

Delurking to say: I read the ebook version and was a bit disappointed. It's kinda cool in that it's written chaotically--very RAW/Illuminatus! inspired with its jumps and leaps, and most of the tangents and oddball connections are followed up an and tie in to the main theme, but not all of them. The book is extremely Bill heavy. Very little Jimmy at all. If you've read Bill's books there's not a whole lot here you don't already know, and I'm guessing that that's pretty much what the author used as his source materials. So not much new insight, especially not into Jimmy's role in things, but that said it was still entertaining. Disappointing but entertaining.

I also purchased and read the ebook and to add to what has been said I find it hard to believe this has been padded out into a full length book as it only took me a few days to read. there must be loads of photos to fill out the pages unless there are more words? The bit about the rabbit from the Echo and the Bunnymen days was good... On 25/09/2013 22:43, O'Higgins wrote:
