I've just added Purchase of the North Pole (Sans Dessus Dessous) to the collection (
http://www.black-cat-press.com/My_Homepage_Files/Page1.html)
It is based on the 1890 Ogilvie translation with the text edited, corrected and expanded by the replacement of the missing material. As with the other Verne books, I've included the original illustrations as well as an appendix and map.It's probably not the ultimately ideal text, but it is certainly better than anything that's been available to date, I think.
In a week or two the book will also be combined with From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon in a single volume as The Gun Club Trilogy. I don't think all three books have ever been published together before.
