MS-1993 is physically a patchwork — mixed fonts, nested pagination (22, 22A–J, 23…), footnotes at page bottoms, marginal doodles…

This concerns the book's apparatus (its title, endnote system, or text-state) rather than a single scene.

In the published book. This material does not appear in the published book.

Evidence. Independently corroborated. Documented by Steven Moore's first-draft collation (1993 state; "who of course wasn't fooled for an instant"); D.T. Max's biography of Wallace (1994: Pietsch "pulled out a calculator"); Wallace planned to cut "40% of what they ask and mak[e] the font slightly smaller and hop[e] to fool them" D.T. Max's biography of Wallace.

Further notes. Context for why no single page-count claim about cuts should be taken at face value — even the physical object was adversarial. The Dec-1994 letter corroborates the victim's-side experience in passing Michael Pietsch's December 1994 second-read letter: "reading the tiny type of the first printout left me so dog tired that my brain wasn't always running".
