[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't know authors did this. I do know that I have no interest in updated versions of books. [b]I would prefer to read them in the original form, example the recent Roald Dahl controversy[/b].[/quote] Why? [/quote] Well, do you want to read Roald Dahl or whoever happened to be an intern editor last year?[/quote] It depends on if the final result is better. I love RD but that isn’t to say no one can improve on his work, especially as times change. Good editors are worth their weight in gold, even if the author of the book they are editing has died.[/quote] If the original author and the original editor are dead, and some new editor comes along and makes changes -- that's called theft, lying, impersonation. Feel free to write a new book of course. Under your name.[/quote]
