Leave It to Psmith (variorum edition) (PDF, 1,618 KB)
Hopefully this is only the first of several similar projects: an edition of a Wodehouse book that has already entered the public domain in the US, recording all the differences between the various versions of its text: magazines, UK and US books, and later editions. To do this I've used the fist edition of UK book as base text, and added footnotes with all the variants observed in other versions. (In one case in this particular book one section was so heavily rewritten that it was more practical to print the text in two columns.)
Edit January 2025: I've created a separate page for these variorum editions, and moved there a lot of introductory text that used to be in this post.
