Hardcover Includes Parts I and IIBy Jay BeeBrowsing through the reviews and comments about Maus; I saw that there was some question as to whether the hardcover edition comprised Parts I and II. This is understandable because the product is listed in as "The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale (No 1);" which seems contradictory.When I was considering purchasing it; I looked at the number of pages that were listed for the edition and guessed that it included both parts of the story. So I bought it; it arrived fine; and I am now writing to confirm that yes; this edition includes I and II. should look into this and remove the "(No 1)" from the listing's title.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
