Luckily, this classic book has never been revised after publication
Really? I have two editions of Stranger in a Strange Land. The original I read back in the late 60's had a good chunk of the content removed to shorten the book and remove what the publisher considered to be objectionable material. In the early 90's, the uncut edition was published. Having read both editions, I find myself preferring the 60's version. For the most part, the older edition has paragraphs shortened removing excessive verbiage which does cause a rather jumpy reading experience once you compare it to the uncut version.

See Heinlein Society: Stranger vs. Stranger for more information.
