I always tried not to catalog abridged works - it was very difficult to explain to students - invariably a student would pick a book that was abridged and read fro a class assignment -- Now we could get into a discussion of the teacher should have lookoed at the book or the student should have asked, etc. etc. reality - they don't - I always felt I had more pressing issues than to worry about havcing this kind of problem - I just donated abridged works on to someone else.
