Editions

Unlike commercial publishers, who work hard to get rid of older editions of their books in order to make professors make students buy the latest edition, our open-source philosophy means that we maintain prior editions indefinitely. We definitely recommend using the most recent edition and are transparent about changes, but if you ever really need to see what was in an older edition, you can find a link here. (Older print editions may be discontinued, but if you really need one, please contact us.)
