RIFTS Main Book First Printing?

Hello! A quick question, it's been an age since I've been on the site but this question came to mind and it's been bugging me ever since. Emperor Prosek was NOT the original name for the leader of the Coalition States but was changed before the first printing of the RIFTS Main Book. (Not Ultimate Edition; The original main book.) While this original name was pretty well scrubbed out from the first printing I noticed it mentioned in one spot when I did have a copy. It was in the third paragraph of the description of the Glitterboy on page 218 I think. Does anyone remember what this name was or have a first printing copy they can take a look at? Thanks in advance!

IIRC, it was Tom or some variation of it.

My second printing (Sep 1990) refers to an "Emperor Tromm" on that page.
My third printing (May 1991) has it fixed.

That's it! Thanks so much! My original copy is a third printing but I thought to replace it at one point and picked up a copy from eBay. When it arrived I was shocked to see it was a first printing. I sold it off later, once I got my hands on the silver edition of the hardcover; It paid for itself and the new book. :D
