There are numerous differences between the 1940 edition and 2008 edition. For instance, the 1940 edition was printed by letterpress and halftone process on vellum, while the 2008 edition was printed by ink-jet on custom paper and most closely captures the brilliance and detail of the original artwork. Also, the 1940 version of The Szyk Haggadah included a translation and commentary by Cecil Roth, while the 2008 version of The Szyk Haggadah has an all-new translation and commentary by Byron L. Sherwin. Please see The Szyk Haggadah section of our Web site for more information on the outstanding features of the 2008 edition.
