Here is some updated information about unabridged and abridged versions of the book "The Sovereignty Of God" by Arthur W. Pink.
Previous Hardcopy Information
Good information about the abridged hardcopy version published by "The Banner Of Truth" is in this thread from 2008. The thread is now closed.

Hardcopy Published by Watchmaker Publishing
The version published by "Watchmaker Publishing" is also unabridged. This is the version I gift to people since it is currently the least expensive on Amazon.
Ebook Published by Providence Baptist Ministries
The ebook version that used to be published by Providence Baptist Ministries is unabridged. Their website is no longer available. But the site can still be found in the "Internet Archive Wayback Machine" at:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160321003205/http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/index.htm
And the ebook can still be downloaded from there for free. The forewards go up to the fourth edition.
Ebook Published by Monergism Books
There is an ebook version published by "Monergism Books". The filename used in the download claims to be unabridged, but this is an abridged version. 1/3 of the pages have been removed. The forewards go up to the fourth edition.

Terminology about the changes is based on the unabridged version being the standard.
Ebook Published by Chapel Library
The free ebook version published by Chapel Library is the third edition. The forewards go up to the third edition. Chapters 4 and 5 are complete (unlike the Monergism Books version). But there are no appendices; they have been removed.
