Dr. Milham is a classicist and her translation has been compiled by
comparing and evaluating all known versions of Platina.  It is probably the
best translation of the work ever prepared.

The hardbound and the paperback are of the Milham translation and were
published by the University of Arizona.

IIRC, and we should ask Devra to check me on this, the paperback version
does not have the Latin text and the some of the scholarly notes.  If all
you are interested in is the translation, the paperback should be fine.
