As far as I know the 1948 text is the same as the 1920 (the retail epub assumes so - I'm certain they did not use the hard-to-find 1920 magazine text). The images that the retail epub used are those from the 1948 book that they claim is ok because they couldn't find heirs to copyrights and the 1948 publisher no longer exists. I'd like to put my version on Internet archives but I think that would be legally questionable because I don't know about heirs of the 1948 publishing company if there are any, nor of the artist's and author's heirs despite the retail epub publisher's claim.

Thanks Jelly and Ralph Sir Edward for the info esp about the common right to make modified copies for myself and friends.
