Material Used From Prior Work
The Perky Pat and Connie Companion products were introduced in the novelette The Days of Perky Pat published in 1963. However, the novel is not a continuation (e.g. What the Dead Men Say and the novel Ubik) or expansion (e.g. the novella and later novel Vulcan's Hammer) of an earlier and shorter work. Early in chapter 3 a reference is made to "...the Printers, the Biltong life forms ..." taken from the short story Pay for the Printer published in 1956.
