Comparisons

The comparisons will be done in this manner. There will be scans of at least two of the covers, one for the older text, one for the revised text. Sometimes I'll have more than that depending on if I've managed to get additional copies of a particular story.

Then there will be a scan of the title page and the illustration opposite it (if there is one). After that will come a section where I'll list significant changes between the text versions (if there are any.)Finally, there will be a complete chapter-by-chapter listing of the contests of each text. That will, of course, contain spoilers, so if you don't want to be spoiled then stop reading after the list of differences section.

The work on this section is on-going.
