There are some minor differences between these pdf versions and the originally published editions. 1) some images appear in lower resolution than in the original; 2) images for which the original file was in color are shown in color in the pdf version, even if the image was printed in gray scale in the original print edition; 3) there are some minor font-translation glitches. Overall, though, they are pretty faithful to the published editions.
