Writings in The Sun.

Many have asked why Golas did no writing beyond LM. Actually he did. He was an avid producer of work, but much if it never saw print. Why? Simple: LM was a fluke in the publishing biz. Golas took back his book from the original publisher and turned production over to Deray Norton at the Seed Center. Eventually Bantam picked up the book in an unheard of arrangement: that the Seed Center could still print it. The Seed Center copies are exquisite quality, while the Bantam copies are cheaply printed. Despite this, Bantam helped propel the book into the international market in many languages. Despite the success, it was still a publishing analomy. Tad's curmugeonly ways and lack of a finished manuscript made him a risk for publishers.

Over the years Tad had essays published in The Sun magazine. Since his work didn't appear in book form, the Sun became an outlet for his ideas. The 5 or 6 articles he wrote are all lengthy essays. Together they comprise as many words as are in LM.

A few are nicely written essays. Others are more disjointed collections of ideas. All are heady reading that you'll probably want to wrestle with at least a few bouts.

You can order back copies or xeroxes (when out of print) for $7 each from the Sun:

Issue 69 '81 On Enlightenment
Issue 82 '82 On Understanding Pain
Issue 85 '82 Pocket Physics
Issue 108 '84 Understanding Pain
Issue 179 '90 The Cosmic Airdrome
Issue 229 '95 Cosmic Airdrome Revisited

The Understand Pain appears to be a repeat, or possibly a misprint by The Sun.
