Abridged Audiobook
What is the difference between abrigded and unabridged books?
Im looking at an audiobook and it has abridged and unabridged. whats the difference the unabridged is longer and more expensive.
unabridged means it is the entire book, as originally published. abridged means it has been edited- usually the stuff that is cut out isn't essential to the story, but I'm not sure how those decisions are made
