The Scholastic editions have always used a larger font than usual
(maybe as large as 10 points) and extra leading (space between lines).
I've noticed already that UK editions always seem to have much
narrower margins as well.  I have the U.S. and U.K. editions of a
Patrick O'Brian novel and the difference is immediately noticeable.

Not to mention that the UK editions don't have the...er...well, 
those...THINGS that appear at the beginning of each chapter in the US editions.  
Those...PICTURES.  The ones that take up half the page...
