I understand that C of C is now out in a second edition and I'm wondering if there is sufficient difference between in the second edition to recommend it for re-reading?
Many Thanks for your help.

I could be wrong, but I think there have been two new additions. I have the 2nd one, and know there were some additions/revisions, but cannot elaborate. However, the newest addition I heard has info on the UN fiasco among other items.
I am sure someone else can provide further info.
All best,

Hiya, Francois!
Actually, CoC is on the Fourth Edition which I believe Zev said contains up-to-date information on the UN scandal.
Probably worth picking up a copy if you only possess the First Edition.

Hi Francois
I have a newer edition of CoC. Read the first edition about 7 years ago.
I think the "rule of thumb" with certain kinds of books (I'm thinking of textbooks here, so it may not apply to CoC) is that it has to have a minimum 30% revisions/new info compared to the most recent edition. Otherwise, it's not cost effective to the publisher to go through with a revised/updated edition.
That probably doesn't apply to CoC, but why not check whether your local library has a more current edition on hand and see if it's something you want to purchase.

Yep, the fourth edition is out with UN stuff and some pics (very few) to add to the story.
Thank you all very much. I'm going to go out and glom onto a fourth edition right away.
Hi Francois: Yes, it is out in its Fourth Edition, April 2002 ... in 12 languages, lots of updates including the UN scandal ... well worth the read. - Jim W.
