Are these The Onion books different?

March 5, 2011 1:59 PM

Do the following pairs of "The Onion" books contain different content. The "Onion" Ad Nauseam: Another Year of the "Onion": v.14 (Vol 14) [Paperback] and The Onion Ad Nauseam: Complete News Archives, Volume 14 [Paperback] . Also: The "Onion" Ad Nauseam Complete News Archives Volume 15: v.15: Relations Break Down Between U.S. and Them (Vol 15) [Paperback] and Fanfare for the Area Man: The Onion Ad Nauseam Complete News Archives, Vol. 15 [Paperback] They have different names but the multiple volumes 14 and 15 are confusing.

I am trying to get the full set but obviously dont want to pay for duplicate books. I have one of each of the Volumes 14 and 15, if it helps the first page of The "Onion" Ad Nauseam: Another Year of the "Onion": v.14 (Vol 14) [Paperback] has a 'Teen who just discovered Led Zeppelin starting to piss off friends' story and Fanfare for the Area Man: The Onion Ad Nauseam Complete News Archives, Vol. 15 [Paperback] has a 'Kevin Bacon linked to Al-Qaeda' story on the first page.

Best answer: I have both versions of Vol. 15 (thanks to over-zealous relatives). The only difference is that the UK version ("Relations Break Down...") has a two-page intro article at the start ("U.S. Gives Up Trying To Impress England"). Aside from that they are identical.
