How to Teach Your Edition How to Swim

This paper is the later elaboration of a talk given at a Conference on Editorial Problems in Toronto in 1997 under the title “Why you should not teach your edition how to swim”. A volume of conference proceedings was planned, for which this written form of the material was prepared. It seems unlikely now that that volume will ever appear, so I am making this paper visible on the Web.
