First edition in English was a hardback and not "abridged"

at least compared to the paperback which is currently available on Amazon
Don't know how much is missing compared to the Hardback but its commented on more than once in the Amazon reviews that there are significant passages edited out in comparison to the 1st Hardback
However the first ever publication of Bunuels Autobiography was in French, which is the link I added, and I sincerely doubt this was abridged or messed with; it could in fact be more definitive than the English 1st edition hardback(!)
I know the 1st printing was in French because I tried to get a copy in the 1980s when I 1st heard of it; failed, and then the English hardback edition came out which I promptly bought (pre-Internet days)
100% agree that its virtually a criminal act for any editor to trim a book as good as this one; there should be laws against it
