Can anyone help me with this? I've noticed this AmazonClassics series (which I love!) say "This edition... includes editorial revisions." Can anyone tell me what kind of revisions this involves? Is it abridgement? I love the old books, but I need to know if I'm getting the original book or not. I've found a number of others asking the same question online but no one seems to know the answer. TIA.
