Dear Pynch,

It would be a pity to lose your work on James' latest versions. I know this epub is big enough as is, but couldn't you keep a separate epub with the latest versions as you eliminate them from your preferred earlier versions "complete works"?

Thank you again.
Interesting idea, but the old version would be very inconsistent, as not all of the texts are from the New York edition. The new one is still inconsistent, too, but at least it won’t be when it’s finished—whenever that might be.

Let me think about it, perhaps I change my mind.

(You might get your wish with a new Poe edition I’m preparing, though, which will have all authorised versions that were released in his lifetime.)

Dear Pynch
I just happened on your 'Complete Henry James V1.2' whilst browsing around the library, and this reminded me that I noticed an unfortunate discrepancy in the Gutenberg editions of 'The Wings of the Dove', done originally, I believe by Jim Adcock, namely that whilst Volume 1 is from the 1902 edition, Volume 2 is from the 1909 (presumably New York) edition. I really only realised this when I got to Book 6 and started to notice the missing punctuation! From a brief glance, it looks to me as though the version in your 'Complete Works' has the same problem, though I only looked at the first few pages of Book 6.
Should you decide that this is the case, I spent some weeks last year doing my best top transform the PG 1909 Vol 2 into the 1902 original, using a scan of a 1902 Edition published by Scribner from Open Library.
If this is of interest to you, you can find the result in the MR library under my userid.
A word of warning, I also changed the odd US English spelling to British English. The only one I can remember is 'behooved' to 'behoved', but there may have been a (very) few others.

I'm a bit late to the show, but just wanted to thank you for the tremendous work you've done on this collection. (I just hope no one is dissuaded from reading James by the moronic Virginia Woolf quote at the beginning of the post.)
