I'm a huge fan of Dougal Dixon's After Man and even managed to attend the 2018 (re)-launch party for the reprint of the book. That means I was lucky enough to see the original pitch document for the book, but only briefly (there were a lot of people and I was more interested in meeting Dougal himself, getting books signed, etc.). Luckily, Darren has done a great job writing up the pitch document, including scanning a number of the pages. Very cool and I agree that the biome dioramas being cut was a real shame 😮
