*note: The publishing information for The Gas is uncertain. My copy of the book is unclear about its early publishing history. Here's an e-mail which may explain it:
"I believe I am correct in saying that Platt's novel The Gas was never published at Paris by the Olympia Press, nor by Essex House either. It was in fact first published at New York in 1970 by the Olympia Press, as vol. OPH-216 of the Ophelia Press series. I am unaware of its subsequent history." --Patrick Kearney.
