It's a 3-book set, IIRC. The first edition, the green set, was heavily edited by the publisher [again, IIRC] and the authors were incensed. So much so that they re-issued the book with their original (and some added) comments, pictures, and observations. That's the red set. The red set is the later edition sold by Simpson's.

There is a 3-4 page thread on this here somewhere, I'll try to find it.

Here is the short thread on the controversy surrounding the two editions (on page 3) -
