GR: an entire line is missing!

[Mike Jing]

Right.  The good news is that I got my money back.  And I'll probably
get this one this time since it seems to be the only other edition
widely available here.

http://www.amazon.ca/Gravitys-Rainbow-Penguin-Twentieth-Classics/dp/0140188592/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336714300&sr=8-2

Anyone can comment on the overall quality of these?
