I own the full 20-volume hardcover set. It's brilliant.

Too much trouble to prove something that has no reason to prove. Believe what you want

You've already wasted more time arguing about it than it would've taken to simply post a picture. What's the real reason you won't?

The real reasons is that your acute, intense focus on it is worrying and a bit scary, and I do not wish to engage that.

No, it's just you're a pathological liar and anything you don't prove beyond a reasonable doubt is to be assumed untrue.

I am not a pathological liar. You don't even know me.

How could you possibly know that?

Because I know people in my real life, and I am pretty sure you are not them.

The company had been on a project to issue a third edition, but the work is too damn expensive and slow they report. I wonder if they'd do better with another approach that could raise money while allowing general access to their content.
