Stan,
Amazon is selling the latest edition always because that's all they have. Their descriptions are subject to errors. for example, people are looking for 20012 editions of Bowditch. But no such edition exists. Some re-sellers advertise this edition on Amazon because they don't take the time to check. bottom line--don't rely on Amazon for factual information on their books.

John,
Looking on line, I see that Amazon is still selling the 2007 edition. AbeBooks shows some as 2011, some as 2007, others with no year.
Not seeing the equations on pages 78 and 79 of the previous editions is a testament to my laziness.
BTW, do I still get an acknowledgment in the new one?

Stan,The Revised & Expanded version came out in 2011 with 328 pages. The 1st and 2nd printings had 274 pages. The 2-body fix equations are on pages 78 & 79 in the older versions. The latest version has a bit more explanation of the use of these equations, plus several significant additional topics.And thanks for the typo information. I've missed that one and 'am always greatful when someone tells me about a typo, or any other suggestions for that matter.Peter, thanks for the good work you do.John K.
