The \nomnibus is missing the poetic epigram for _Citadel of the Autarch_ \n(Kipling, \"At two-o'clock in the morning...\").  I recall also that \nthere's a spuriously repeated passage late in _Citadel_ in the \noriginal that's corrected in the Tor edition.\n\nI haven't conducted a detailed comparison, but I have read the old \npaperbacks several times and have compared any text that strikes me \nas different while reading the Tor editions.  I made marginal pencil \nnotes of thes (whether they turned out to be differences or not), and \ncould flip through and list them if there's any demand.\n\nYou might also consider whether the physical state of your originals \nwill sustain your intended level of future use.\n\n   -- Dan Rabin"
