Make sure to get the 2nd edition which was published in the ninties,
some thirty years after the first edition. The 2nd has not been
published as paperback as far as I know.
[The 2nd Edition doesn't have that much additional material. The
paperback, however, is an abridged version of the 1st edition and is
inferior to the 1st edition hardcover. --Perry]
Cheers,
Stefan.
