I separated the "Annotated" version (3 editions) out of the normal "Flatland". Let me know if you see any other errors.

alrightie, i've merged things up and set the authorial record straight. hurrah!
No, I'm not a super-librarian. I just used the individual separate links at the end each edition on the combine editions page. I've never tried the separate tool.
Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland was released in a lovely hardback circa 2000, along with mathematics popularizer Ian Stewart's extensive annotations (indeed, this edition bears more Stewart text than Abbott).
It (properly) has its own entry, The Annotated Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (this entry needs be spruced up with an Abbott co-authorship while we're at it). Unfortunately, the earlier (2000) edition of this volume is combined not with the annotated edition, but Abbott's original work. The exact link would be:

This needs be uncombined from Abbott's Flatland, and merged with Stewart's Annotated Flatland. I looked around for the rumored "separation tool", but alas could not find it. Zorn!
Thanks!
