Definitely -- most, if not all, of the editions of the first ten years with
Hetzel present variants, from whole chapters to minor typographical details,
so it's important to have as many different versions as possible to compare.


Google seem to have removed from public perusal, apparently in both the US
and other countries, a huge number of 19th C texts in French. It's hard to
believe that this could be for copyright reasons: are they trying to
demonstrate, by means of a reductio ad absurdum, the problems that would
result from curtailing their activities?

I was just thinking there might be other siimilar problems with the moon
novels and 20000 K and maybe even 5 wks in a balloon. I only know about VCT
for sure. as shown in Cristians html page.
