Hi. I'm a college lit teacher and have been thinking about doing footnotes and annotations of the sort most editions for college students supply for some PG classics, so my students could have the usual kinds of help reading them, and print them out, mark them up, bring them to class for discussion, etc.
I hadn't thought about this before, but I can see the sense in Jim's argument. On one hand, I think it's too bad if PG misses out on a well-researched, comprehensive set of annotations. On the other hand, I can see it that in the larger scheme of things it's probably better to stick with our practise of only adding contemparary material if it has already been published in "dead-tree" form.
