True. Are the two books different editions, whic, as
you pint out, can involve revisions of or additions to
text, like forwards and things, or are they different
only in format, and if so, is it desirable to have
different copies of the same book in the collection?
Even LP books don't seem to scan differently except to
cause scanning problems (I've noted when validating
them), and people with poor vision can magnify on
their computers.
Just curious.
