The originals I had were from the 1930s and the revised versions were from the 50s and 60s. As far as I could tell the revisions were not substantive - just making things more modern to the times and updating vernacular. Beth's 1930 "roadster" became a 1960 "convertible," for example. Some of the older versions are really quite quaint in their use of English and reflection of social mores. I'm pretty sure they've been updated all along and their are 90s versions, etc. now, too. ;-) Kakki
