I know from various sources that the LBBs had to be edited in order to comply with the Tolkien estate. But from looking over my set (a 6th printing I supposed--)is book III heavily edited from print to print? I have Balrogs on one of the lists, but that's about it. In book I it is easy to see from the different type of font (and shade) where things like the halfling and spectre were put in to replace hobbits and balrogs. I don't find alot of that in my book III.

Overall the printings are all very similar. There are some threads that list exact changes along the line, but I find that for most of the edits there is zero change in game-play. (There is one M&M refernce to clerics and alignment that is pretty major, but otherwise mostly changes in names like you have suggested.)

Probably the most major thing that I've heard is that they re-did the sample-dungeon drawing, but kept the description text, so it's a wee bit harder to follow the key for it (which wasn't changed). Nothing changed so much as to radically affect gameplay
