4) The paperback 6x9” Long Story Short… and Cheaper Version runs 400 pages. It has full research citations, and most b&w photos, but no appendices, index or standalone works cited.

This Short & Cheap version cuts a lot of important historical context and commentary. And it concentrates on the Slayer story as it unfolds. It's missing a ton of good stuff. But, hey, it's your money and time.
