Synopsis
The Doubleday edition is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3rd ed. The current edition, predating the changes Sinclair (1878-1968) made for the original publisher of the book, includes a number of incidents deemed too gory for publication, as well as a new introduction by Kathleen De Grave explaining what was censored and why.

Library Journal
Desperate to secure a publisher, Sinclair reluctantly edited down the original manuscript for this book. See Sharp's edition is the first to reinsert five whole chapters and additional missing passages to present the 1906 masterpiece as intended. (LJ 4/15/03) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
