LOL--Well, I am probably the most indecisive person I know. Yesterday, when my husband asked if ai wanted more roll and I said yes, he looked asme with a very surprised look on his face. It's rare I give such a definite answer. I'm late coming to my mail today, but after reading Katie's post, I was hoping she'd succeeded in convincing you to keep working on vol. 1 with my help providing the missing pages. I doubt there's much difference in the editions --possibly just in the introductions, maybe in what's included, but if some things are omitted in later editions to make room for newer selections, then all the more reason to keep both. I see that the library systems have more than one edition, although not all in the same branch. Yes, I'm a very good fence-sitter--and I admit Tartuffe discouraged me. But now that's it's daytime instead of the wee hours of the morning, I suppose it wouldn't be so hard to validate, especially if it scanned well. And I think Kenneth said he would scan volume 2. Perhaps either he or you can re-submit volume one again and we can work on it together. I will exchange Volume 2 for volume 1. I can always get vol. 2 again when necessary, but I will only be able to renew it once, so it's best not to get it until we're ready for it--"we" being whoever.
