I'd appreciate it, but you certainly don't have to go through all that trouble! Do you know if this translation is any good?
This one is probably the best translation to date.
There are four volumes of around 500 pages each, though, so good luck
"Monkey" is the only abridge version of Journey to the West I can recommend.
I own a revised edition of Journey to the West that I picked up early last year. It's the most modern version of Journey to the West. Alex Yu's translation is the best one out there. Wu Cheng'en's translation used to be recommend. If you were to compare both translations together, Wu Cheng'en's is a bit dated.
As far as I know, the two main English translations of Journey to the West are Anthony Yu's version and Arthur Waley's version
Its a great story and its an awesome read. Waley's version (just called "Monkey") is a bit more abridged, but its easier to read, and I'd recommend starting with that one.
