Im a little confused. In one of the other threads someone had said that the third edition after 1990 was the better one. I have one that says revised edition (third printing) copyright 1970 is this a third edition typo? A good one to use or should i find somthing newer?

    The 1990 edition is the 3rd edition and many rely on it more than the more recent 4th edition. The latter has a few problems (check previous threads). Happy hunting!

    One particular edition can have multiple printings. You want the one that says "Third Edition."

    Your revised edition is the 2nd edition, so you have a copy from the 3rd print run of the 2nd edition.
