Yup; publisher updates it every now and then. Basics don't change, though. I'd love to sell copies of the new one to folks who have first edition, but, truth to tell, I don't think they really need the update. Not like it's Masterton and Slowinsky.

Couldn't hurt to have a little blurb at the front/back of any newer editions saying something to that effect, and pointing to a forever-good address as to where to check current version, with info on picking up a newer copy if different from the one in their hands. (Ellegon or aacfi, for example)

Yes. The second printing contains edited and new material.

The law relevant to readers hasn't changed since 2005.
We'll update it as necessary but it's not needed yet.

Can you post the book/publisher details? Does it have an ISBN?
It doesn't look like my local library system has it yet. (SELCO - covers 11 SE MN counties)

Cool; thanks. I'd ask the publisher to offer a free copy for each library -- I'd waive royalties; my guess is that they'd be receptive -- but I don't think library bureaucracies are set up to understand small gifts of that sort.

we could look into how free gifts are handled. I have several books that need a new home, I could gift one with them. But I'd be concerned that it wouldn't make it onto the shelves as part of a "used" book donation.
