Additions and replacements from my first edition:
Part IV
Fantasy: An introduction
Classical Literature
"On Fairy Stories" and Folktale Research
Periodizing Tolkien: The Romantic Modern (replacing Modernity: Tolkien and His Contemporaries)
Part V
Games: Playable Arda (replacing Games and Gaming - Quantasy)
Fandom

I am assuming that the other 30 or so other chapters with unchanged titles have unchanged text (which may not be the case of course).
