I indexed an incomplete copy of this issue years ago without knowing it; it actually has more pages at the start that I didn't know about. Now I've got a more complete copy, and I've learned that the start of our index should really look like this...

MMA 3ag U MMA 3B06 1 3 WHa MM A Bright Outlook [desc:landlady charges to look out window] [xapp:MM]
...where U MMA 3B01-3B05 are now all items that we didn't include earlier.
With "A Bright Outlook" we go back into the contents that were indexed already, so the rest of the index largely stays as-is... but the coding will have to change, so the former MMA 3ab/U MMA 3B01 has become MMA 3ag/U MMA 3B06, and all subsequent codes should jump ahead five letters/digits as well.
This recoding may cause a problem in that one of the stories in this book ("It's a Gift!") was reprinted by Egmont in several countries, not so long ago, with our existing code used as the printed code:
•
http://coa.inducks.or...dk%2fWD++1 (here shown as "U MMA 3-B49").
We'll need to update the indexes of the various editions on that book, so that they remain in sync with the "It's a Gift" story, which will now become U MMA 3-B54.
MMA 1 for twenty quid? I wish I HAD won it!
I already have several incomplete copies, all of them falling apart, which together comprise the entire book (-: so I don't really *need* another. But still...
The Canadian MMA 2, which I copied for you, turns out to consist of British MMA 3 complete; Brit MMA 1 nearly complete but minus the title pages; and four pages from Brit MMA 2.
There is also a Canadian MMA 1, taken (at least mostly?) from Brit MMA 2 and 4, but I don't own it, I just saw it on sale once. I'd love to know how the Canadians figured out what they were going to publish, and in what order!
