Earlier this week I mentioned here that I'd picked up an interesting Tor
edition of Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth[1], and I was
about to start reading it.

Update: I lasted less than one page, when that page featured characters
I'd never heard of: Who the heck are Professor Hardwigg and his nephew
Harry? What happened to Professor Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel?

 In my teens I picked this edition up at a second hand bookshop...
 and returned it a couple of days later, for the same reason.
 

Yeah - I guess if I'd read that edition first, I wouldn't have known any better (at the time), but now I also wonder if I would have liked the book as much.
