Scarry's revised Best Word Book Ever

Kokogiak, a user on Flickr, has posted a few photos of Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever.

The photos (here) show the differences between Kokogiak’s own 1963 edition, and the 1991 reissue he bought for his kids. Firemen are no longer brave heroes. Pretty stewardesses are just flight attendants, and cowboy is no longer a job (instead, you can be a judge).
