I'm betting it started as a genuine book then someone has changed only the text.

I thought maybe the archive site was spoofed, but the book is there.

Here's the 1962 Edition.

The spoof version appears to be based on the 1974 edition.
The frontispiece seems genuine.

They really were great books for kids who were just starting to read.

OK, I found the book on the genuine archive site, come back and post the link, but the link goes back to a different page in the all media tab, instead of the book in the texts tab. Must be some of that Brit magic that Rowling woman is always raving about.

I think this guy has as good a guess as any as to the whereabouts of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

He doesn't know, mind you, but...

It's an interesting read.

I soon realized the germ of every TV-news segment is: “Officials say X.” The validity of the story derives from the authority of the source. The expert, such as myself, is on hand to add dimension or clarity. Truth flowed one way: from the official source, through the anchor, past the expert, and onward into the great sea of viewerdom.
I think he left out the point where the story passes through the offices of Cover-our-Ass, Protect-the-Bottom Line, and Most-Politically-effective-Story-Presentation.
