You are quite right, Sun surfer.
The Mack edition is a scholarly reproduction of the first English edition of the French translation. I find it interesting and the annotations good. But it may not be to everyone's taste when the Dagwood and Haddawy are available. I particularly like the Dawood and Haddawy"s version certainly looks good but I'm not sure that I would purchase it until the ebook has both volumes available.
