Luckily, this classic book has never been revised after publication

I disagree as I have a 1991 copyright hardcover edition which says on the dust jacket "For the first time the original uncut stranger in a strange land" The original released 1961 version had several editor requested cuts made which were restored in the 1991 edition. 160,000 words in the originally published version and circa 220,000 words in the 1991 released version per one googled source.In 1961, when originally published, a science fiction book of the original manuscript length was unheard of. By 1991 long SF and fantasy stories were much more common.
