[QUOTE="rhiwfield, post: 110466, member: 924"]I think senility has finally kicked in :( I never was good at algebra but given a) Our edition preface does not have errata addendum b) 2nd edition preface has errata addendum c) Log tables are complete d) First and some third editions have yellow pages e) Our edition has yellow pages then comparison of errata addendum with actual logs will determine whether this is a first or third edition. And the answer? Third :( And as for Hay Cinema Bookshop, so nice of the telephonist to advise me on Monday that an appointment was definitely not necessary, so when I turn up on Tuesday with three boxes of books after a long (for us) drive to be told the antiquarian book appraisers are out and I should have made an appointment!!!! Yesterday was not a good day.[/QUOTE]
