"Dave B said...Regarding your version of The Origin of Species; you said on September 18th, 'It's now heading for 100 universities and 100,000 copies, and it will be the entire book (every jot and tittle). How wonderful that 100,000 students will get a complete copy of Origin of Species with a full color cover.' Reviewers on Amazon are claiming that your version is missing 4 chapters, an introduction, and a glossary. Ray, please explain."
Dave...Sure. The first printing of 30,000 was an abridged edition. It was abridged because it was too many pages (too expensive) for a giveaway. In the book, we explained that the removed chapters could be downloaded freely online at www.originextra.com
The second print of 175,000 (which has just come off the press) was the complete book--that's the one that will go to students. Nothing is missing from the original book. Not a dot. Thanks for asking. I appreciate it. Best wishes.
