Thanks, but can you tell me more about this book? I seem to have missed the hype. I wanted to purchase the first edition some time ago, but could only find it second-hand for insane prices. Is there a reason to have both editions, or even the coming third version? Sorry, Im an idiot. I dont even know who this Brian is. Am I the only one?
I bought the first edition which is annoying to read at points due to the sloppy editing and spellchecking. You're welcome to borrow it should you want to read it before the new version.
The just released book covers the C= history up to 1984. The second part should cover the last 10 years. The original book covers all C= history up to it's demise, although the >1984 stuff seems to be an afterthought.
Think of the new book and upcoming book as an expanded and (hopefully) better edited version of the first book.
