To David Wilson-Okamura's Part B query --
While I can't offer comments on his editorial practices, McCabe's edition
of the Shorter Poems (ISBN 0-14-043445-3, which is now available in Canada,
if not the U.S.A.) is visually impressive, being copiously illustrated with
woodcuts and title pages. I would have preferred a longer introduction, but
have nothing but praise for the edition as a whole.
Other reactions?
