I bought it. Does anybody how its different form the 1st edition? There was a letter JRRT wrote to a friend at the beginning, but the main text seems identical. Some help please?

I don't know if 2nd edition is any different, but that's what I just bought (well, I have been desperately searching for it, and that was what I found). But I'm going to read it now! Yay!

Read the 'Preface to the Second Edition' (page x, in the hardcover). CT writes threrein a little bit about the changes.
