Heinlein - Stranger in a strange land - which one is the unabridged ?
There are two editions on Amazon (and Kobo and I believe also on Google), for brevity I shall only use Amazon links:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...al-text&sr=1-1 and http://www.amazon.it/Stranger-Strang...a+strange+land Does anybody know which one (if any) is the unabridged version ? There was a discussion some time ago, but it was to almost no avail looking at the links, one should try. Has anyone tried, and can tell which one is which ? Thanks in advance. Edit: By a strange coincidence I just noticed that I linked an Italian version, which does not seem to exist on Amazon.com. Sorry for that, and I do not know why is that. Google Links https://play.google.com/store/books/...d=jBtDSf1VzQkC and https://play.google.com/store/books/...d=gnwETwF8Zb4C Last edited by brudigia; 12-31-2015 at 12:43 PM. Reason: Oops |

On the page in Italian, if you scroll down to the section "Quali altri articoli acquistano i clienti, dopo aver visualizzato questo articolo?" - that's the uncut edition.
click to go to the uncut edition. ETA the Hodder & Stoughton edition is the one I have on my Kobo so I'm not just reading the amazon page - I know this is the uncut edition Last edited by Witty Username; 12-31-2015 at 12:55 PM. |

Posting again to say that if you are a Heinlein/Stranger in a Strange Land fan you might be interested in this short article about some of the cuts made to the book as originally published:
Heinlein Society Stranger vs Stranger You may also note that the uncut edition was first published in 1991 - your links in the OP both have a publication date of 1987 so can't be the re-release authorised by Heinlein's widow. |

Thanks for this thread. I have the originally published SIASL, but I shall now put the uncut version on my shopping list.

I have the Uncorrected Galley of this, but have never read this version.

I didn't feel it added much to the original except length.
