Correct on all counts.

Also not for sale in the US, for some reason. I suspect there are rights issues to be untangled, but as you note, not in this thread. Suffice to say, I have as yet been unable to prove that the uncut ebook is legitimately available anywhere, although that one may be a contender.

EDIT: I picked up the preview, and the 2014 printing (ISBN 9781444710236) is the uncut version. The copyright data checks out, and it has the explanatory Preface. Just to be completely sure, I checked the first chapter for a known change, and the text matches the uncut text. So, yay!
