When asked about the differences between the original published version of Magician and the Author's Preferred Edition, Ray had this to say:
IMHO, there's a significant different. In terms of raw word count, about 30,000 words or so more.
I think the APE is a superior version of Magician due to its expanded background information and several really nifty scenes. If you have only read the original version, I highly suggest picking up a copy of the APE. Its like revisiting the past, but with a few interesting tweaks.
