Besides, I think it also said "edited and enlarged," or something to that effect. I just wanted the same stories I read 40-some years ago, not something different with the same title. (I probably won't even like them any more.)
If you mean The Ring of Allaire series, holy cow... those covers are truly awful.

Actually I can't remember having ever read them. So thanks for the tip. No paper books for me, I'm afraid. I'll just change the covers in Calibre.
