They seem rather different. I downloaded samples of each. The beginning of The First Edition I can't find in the sample of the Illustrated edition. The most helpful Amazon comment for the Annotated version emphatically states that its Kindle version is terrible.

I've seen this book (evidently actually a collection of articles written in the 1920's in the Saturday Evening Post) highly touted considerably a number of times.

If I download the entire ebooks I can cancel the versions I don't like within 7 days. However I'm curious if someone has run this gauntlet and has something to say.
