The "nonfiction" part means that it is a true story, so Bill Clinton's autobiography is a true account of his life.
"Abridged" means that sections of the book have been left out in order to make the audiobook a little bit shorter.
When doing audiobooks, the best thing to get is UNabridged--that means that the ENTIRE book is there.

what it means is that the non-fiction book has been abridged to fit onto a centain amount of CDs. I haven't really listened to audio books, but I imagine they have to cut a bit out in order to keep it from being too long.

Abridged means they have cut out the slightly less interesting parts of the book (it doesn't matter if it is fiction or non-fiction)

'Abridged' means that its a shortened version and 'non fiction' means that it is supposedly true. (as opposed to fiction which is an invented story)
