Shelley, I may be wrong, but from what you've posted here, I would say this is not a condensed book. As I interpret this, there were 3 printings of the book up to 1962, and then there was the a Readers' Degoest Condensed book published in 1957. I would say that this 1964 Pyramid edition is a 4th printing of the original book, copyrighted in 1957, but it's actually a new edition because it has an Afterword that was added to it. Perhaps there were other changes, too. Can you tell anything from the Afterward? Cindy --- "Shelley L. Rhodes" <juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hey you all, am at a condry.
