I've been preparing a review for publication. When it's finished,
I'll post a copy of it here. In the meantime, the Butcher translation
is, in just a few words, undoubtedly the best English rendering of
20K ever published. It is not only complete and accurate, but--and I
think this is important--it is true to Verne's own style and
language.
