I want to buy a few classics, and on the Barnes and Noble website, it states the books are part of their "Classics Series."
But, I noticed they also have introductions and notes within the pages by different authors aside from the original author.
I JUST want an original, un-touched copy with no reconstruction done to them.
Is this a good series? Here are two examples:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hunchback-of-notre-dame-victor-hugo/1006057593?ean=9781593081409
It says that there are notes in them by various authors, but is it still the original work?
