Well, I'm
assuming about the modern copy — I haven't seen it myself, as I said. I'd also just rather have the thrill of owning an original edition of a rare book, when all's said and done. But preferably NOT a copy that's falling apart, that's all.

I'm guessing that the omnibus edition doesn't reinstate them where they should be, but includes them as part of More Wishing-Chair Stories.
Yes, you're right that those chapters appear as part of More
Wishing-Chair Stories in the Dean omnibus edition. I can't remember whether the golliwogs have been removed and my copy isn't easy to access so I'm afraid I can't check.
