But what we have here is not 'The Annotated LotR' - which I would be more than happy to see. As I said earlier, if this edition had given the different readings as footnotes or in an extra appendix I wouldn't have had any problem. Its changing the actual text that bothers me, especially as the specific changes are not indicated. They have simply been made & the 'original' wording has been lost.
