How much difference is there between the editions? I've got someone who wants to sell me one but it's not the latest edition. The price is pretty fair so I want to make sure before i get it instead of buying the latest. Thanks!

What edition is it?

woodstock · 01-17-2012, 09:50 PM

I was told it was second edition.

The first edition is a horizontal format book. The second printing is a vertical format book, but the material is presented long-ways on the page (as in the first book), so it must be read on its side. A terrible and inconvenient decision. Iirc the latest printing has gone back to the horizontal format.

But there isn't any difference between the editions? How many editions were there? Thanks!

I am not with my books right now to check, but:

Afaicr there is only one edition, three different printings. No change in the content.
