As far as I know, he changed older brand/store names to newer names, basically. I'm sure it wasn't an improvement.

The naming of the ersatz coffee as "Coffee-est" was a stroke of genius and the images associated with it have stuck with me all these years.

But not a nice 1st Ed. Hardback. 10 years too late. I find it amazing how old it is, written over 60 years ago

My copy (Haven't ever laid my hands on a hardcover):

I don't care about physical books. SF is the story.

Yes, but the Hardbacks last better. (real ones, today a lot of fake ones are just glued and fall to pieces quicker than paper backs)
