Didn't Stephen King do a revised version of The Gunslinger? *NM*

Currently rereading Knots and Crosses by Ian Rankin. It's his first Rebus novel.
The foreword to this edition is by Ian Rankin, and he's quite critical of his younger self, mocking word choice and things like that.
At the same time, it's also rather nice to get an insight into such famous authors' writing process and learn about the inspiration for their characters.
I'd really rather like to read JK Rowling's take on her first book. Does anyone know if that exists?

I love it when authors criticise their own work many years after the original release.

Except that the later books generally compensate for it...

There were surprises in later books that should have at least been hinted at earlier. *NM*

Much of the older King work is better than his newer stuff. Same with George Lucas.

Re: I want JKR's thoughts on her last book. The first is much better.
