Oh... looking closer, it looks like you're right. I was under the impression that this was the Victorian era translation w/ an introduction by her. I just looked at the sample, and it appears that this IS the full translation -- for only 99 cents too!

Thanks for setting me straight! :-)


(as I compare the Amazon sample and the PG version, I'm actually no longer convinced that the modern translation is preferable... hrm... anybody have an opinion on this matter?)
