Only slightly later than announced, here they are:

I have replaced the tales and novels with the critical texts from www.eapoe.org (Collected Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 2 & 3: Tales and Sketches, ed. by Thomas Ollive Mabbott, Cambridge & London, 1978; The Collected Writings of Edgar Allan Poe, Vol. 1: The Imaginary Voyages, ed. by Burton R. Pollin, New York, 1994) and proofed them against scans of their copy-texts. I have tried to make sure they follow the critical editions by also checking Mabbott’s and Pollin’s emendations. About 470 mistakes in the eapoe.org-digitisation were corrected. Please let me know if you find any mistakes.

There are, in the critical editions, about 200 deviations from the copy-texts which are not recorded in the list of variants, half of which I would call mistakes (the rest may be silent emendations). All of them are hidden in the code and appear if you delete “display: none; ” in the stylesheet specifications for the <ins> element. (If you do the same for the <del> element, you will get the page numbers for the tales, the novels, the criticism, and the letters.)

There isn’t much left of the original Raven Edition (sorry, P’weeze), but I think the critical texts would be preferred by most people.
