I understand that some authors get mad about what they call over-editing, or editing based on the time, but having read a couple of those, I have no interest in reading another. Author ego thing, I think.

I didn't get the feeling that the original book suffered from an aggressive editor. Rather, the Xanth books changed over time, with heavy use of wordplay. So he reworked the original to make it fit the overall style more.
