Re: TUP SD editions

Daniel is correct in his reply to Dallas in regard to the TUP edition of the Secret Doctrine:  It IS a facsimile edition of the original in all important respects.  They did, however, manually retouch the typeface, which in the 1888 edition was flawed.  A friend there once described the countless hours spent, meticulously retouching a torn-apart original to make it camera-ready.  I know of no "editorializations which are not all marked clearly" in that edition. 
 
Since 1977 the TUP edition has been an identical facsimile edition, just like ULT's.  Previous to that (from '52?  onward) there was an original edition with a new typeface.
 
Best,
