Honestly, most old books that remain in print are not edited. Which is why it makes headlines when greedy rightsholders don't fully understand what they have and decide to edit them.

So we are both in agreement that changing books is not such a splendid idea? I thought you were all for it. Will it be necessary to teach how to read old books? Yes. That is nothing new. Take Shakespeare's plays. You cannot translate them. To understand their meaning at all you need more than read them. They need to be studied and analyzed to fully understand. I am hoping that eventually the same will happen with newer books.
