Thanks. It's interesting to see the variants. In the end, when I'm
done, I'll drop a note to Little, Brown and let them know about the
textual gyrations. It'll be interesting to see if I pick up on any
further ones.

I don't know the order of your edition (do you want to post it here?),
but I would be inclined to go in chronological order. In my opinion,
there's no strong argument in favor of doing it textually (e.g., based
on subject or other arrangement), and you might as well see the order
in which they appeared in the world, if that's the order in which they
appear in the book. If they appear in some other order in the book, I
don't know what to suggest in terms of order. I'd be curious to hear
what other readers think.

Thanks. I'll go into details when I can do so about my little
experiment ... probably in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks to everyone who responded publicly and privately!
