I rather felt it was cheating, but content can and does get altered between editions of pbooks.
And then there's always the abomination that is Readers Digest Condensed Books.

Yes, but in that case, I suppose ISBN is not the same...
And for Readers Digest Condensed Books, as I agree with you, at least they say it !
For me it's the same that "Best parts" of an opera. I never purchased one, only the complete version. I don't talk about anthologies here, but condensed versions... Ok, I plead guilty for a CD box of russian ballets (2 Prokofiev, 3 Tchaikovsky, 1 CD for each)
