An Unabridged Edition of a title is a full length rendition of the original publication. An Abridged Edition is shortened version of an original publication. Abridged Editions have an average running time of about 3 to 6 hours, whereas Unabridged Editions can be much longer. For many titles, LearnOutLoud.com has both Abridged and Unabridged versions available so keep an eye out for the “Abridged Available” or “Unabridged Available” links in upper right hand box of the product pages.
