Dear Cyrus,

it is supposed that each generation should have a new translation of classic titles (not just JV). Besides, the classic titles are best selled. And even though two translations originate at the same time, it is always good for comparison. In most cases, I think, some parts are better in one translation and some in the other. It should be noted, however, that new translation does not mean better per se.

Best regards

Jan
