It's been a long time since I've seen another SF fan that's heard of
Elric of Melnibone, Kinslayer and Last Lord of Imyrryr (sp?), so here's
a few questions I have about the Elric series:

- What are the names of the Elric stories and their proper chronological
  sequence?  I've been reading them on and off for the last few years--
  it's hard to find them since they appear to be out of print.  Also, I've
  found some editions which claim to be 'revised' by the author.  Does any-
  body know about the nature of the revisions?  I've also heard that some
  of the stories published in North America were terribbly hacked up by
  the publishers without the author's permission.  Is that true?

- There is an Elric short story called "The Jade Man's Eyes" in which Elric
  travels to R'lin K'ren A'a with Duke Astvan of Old Hrolmar.  At that time
  he was in the company of Moonglum and the story took place after the Fall
  of Imyrryr.  However, in the Elric novel "Sailor on the Seas of Fate" I
  found the same short story in a very different form, where Elric is in
  the company of Count Smiorgan Baldhead, and the story takes place *before*
  the Fall of Imyrryr!  Which is right and who did what to whom?
