Actually the third edition is the newest... and apparently last one. If you do order it go to amazon... adn the marketplace sellers and order from carole38. She's Bill's wife and you can get an autographed version of the book. Personalized if you want it. I ordered from her and was very happy, i just cant leave feedback because amazon is saying my account doesnt exist. And yes the book is good book.. Id say a must read for ANY fisherman... Ive read it once so far and might be reading it again soon. Erik
