I'm on a quest to read books I feel I "should have already read." So, I picked up a copy of Robinson Crusoe at the library on the discard/fundraiser shelves. I'm trying to determine if it's abridged or unabridged. My assumption is that it's unabridged, but I'd love to know for sure.
Info:
It was published by Doubleday and Company, Inc. in 1946. The story starts on page 2. I don't see anything on page 1 to indicate the book is abridged. So, be default, I'm assuming it's unabridged.
The only thing to "scare" me into thinking it possibly could be abridged is that on the flap in red letters I see the words "Book Club Edition." But really, any abridged works I've ever read usually say so, and there is usually some sort of medium-length intro prior to the actual work, which this book doesn't have.
Abridged or unabridged? Any criteria I might be failing to consider?
