5. It can be both a first and an abridged (shortened, edited for length) edition simultaneously.

11. I believe u r correct. Nt

[babylonsister]

6. I don't know much about

first editions, but wouldn't that have to be unabridged?

What does it mean when a book is a first edition?
In the simplest terms, a first edition is the first commercially distributed version of a book. For the purposes of modern collectible books, first edition is shorthand for the first printing of the first edition of a work. ... First editions are prized because they are as close as a reader can get to the source.

2. She can throw shade with the best of them.

It's a book dotard will never read, and she knows it.

3. She should have given him a WWII book that he would actually look at!

History comes alive for kids like no textbook can in this epic account of World War II that's perfect for history buffs and reluctant readers! Contains awesome illustrations!

4. Wait...???

All pictures and no words, right, as well as the hot dogging cover? That'll do it!

7. Remember those Reader's Digest condensed books?

Some even had pictures, not the same as a graphic novel, but more words than a Little Golden Book for toddlers, which would have been Trump's preference.

8. The gift itself wasn't tacky...maybe giving an abridged version was shade.

The last time Trump visited, the Queen accessorized her luncheon ensemble with a beautiful brooch...given to her by President and Mrs. Obama.

10. Has anyone explained the grifters that the gifts don't belong to them

and will have to be turned over so they may be stored in the National Archives?

It is possible, if Trump ever has a library, that the gifts could be moved there for display (no word on whether or not naming the prison library after him would count as a "presidential" library.). Or, after he leaves office, they may be given the chance to purchase them for fair market value.
