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???

I like the first one but I am a wee bit of a grammar nazi in my own life, but the second one reads much better with fewer distractions and still good information, the first breaks the narrative too much sadly!
looks good and I hope to get one when it is finished and published :-) remember to share links to places to buy!
Argh! The website never sent me an e-mail about your answer and I got distracted by some students and some bunnies.
Thanks for lending me your eyes!
I'll give you a link to our website in a couple of months...
Did I tell you that our fully bilingual version of Oscar Wilde's Salomé is finished? Or should I star taking more vitamins as my brain is obviously a piece of Swiss cheese?... ^_~
