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.

Famous quotes containing the words material, prior and/or work:
“Culture requires in the first place a certain balance of material and spiritual values.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Forbear to mention what thou canst not praise.”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
“The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
