You say "didn't". Do you still feel this way?
I wanted to created a "critical edition" that combined corrections and items from various editions,
I'm curious: How many such amalgams has PG produced? What was the latest?
and we have always supplied the necessary information for citing our eBooks on request,
But that's not apparent to someone reading a PG eBook, I think. E.g., the PG boilerplate doesn't have a sentence like: To find out what printed edition(s) this eBook was created from, send a request to someone@pglaf.org. -Michael
