A Jane Austen Question

Dear friends and lovely readers,

I've got a question from the Éditions Aikyō team: we're working on our version of Jane Austen's first edition of Sense&Sensibility and we're thinking about two possibilities.

One with every difference (punctuation and edits) between the first edition and the most recent editions:


Or one with just the edit differences:



Could you tell us which version you prefer?

I'm very tempted to send the full version with all the differences to the printer (aka my cousin Chris) so you can see how the text evolved from the first edition to the ones we have now, but it's nicer to ask you...

So???
