Summary: 

["That's DISGUSTING! I think I like it."]

Yes, the new Forward book TFotD is an expanded version of the serial that
appeared in Analog. At a rough guess, 50% of the material in the book is
new: covering preparations for the flight, the flight, and the Gargantua
flybys (sorta useless material, that). An appendix giving technical details
of the flight, including illos.

If you liked (or haven't read & like Forward and/or Clement) the serial,
the paperback is probably worth your $'s. The tradeback probably isn't.

Now, I want to by a Christmas Bush for my Vaxen. Anybody selling 'em?
