I strongly prefer the first (more information), but I'm out of step with contemporary design preferences. Apparently it's not a good presentation...
I do have an older printed Krause edition, and an electronic version as well. Moving to foreign material would be quite a stretch for me -- but...

Yes, and that guess would be "so much that we could crush every human that's ever lived under his or her own million-ton solid gold cube, and...
