Isn't the author of Revelations referring to adding or subtracting words from the Book of Revelations, rather than referring to adding or subtracting from the other books of the Bible?That's the reasonable interpretation, yes, since "The Bible" as we know it did not exist at the time of the composition of the Book of Revelation.

yes, but also the wording specifically used by John " adding or subtracting words from this SCROLL...", which is of course the medium upon the text was written. specifically, then, John is arguing that no-one should change the words in the Book of Revelation itself.
