I hope some one is able to share a copy of this new book .
And compare it to the old one - I will hazard a guess that there will be no substantive change, only a few adjustments to the current version of elder-speak.

And compare it to the old one
The old one doesn't have anything about:
-- cel phones / texting / sexting
-- Internet / Internet porn / apostate web sites / social networking sites
...and had very little about child abuse, college, and utter adulation and strict obedience to the GB.
Plus the blood policy has changed since then (DF vs. disassociation, acceptable blood fractions clarified).
So, a lot of details will have been added, but the overall message will be the same:
"Whip the R&F into shape!"

And, you are suggesting this one will? Well, if so, maybe they finally do have a reason to keep it secret...

What do you mean by "generation"?
Never mind.
I don't want to know.

You don't NEED to know, unless you are an elder. That information is controlled on an elder's-need-to-know basis. You do not even have an elders lapel card.

Do they have a spreadsheet at the door and make sure you are supposed to be there?
The reason I ask is, how cool would it be if we got a hold of one of those cards and all showed up at one of the school sessions.
