This is one of those books that you are always looking for at garage sales, thrift stores and such...
the original is a hard copy that is green...
the second printing was yellow if I remember right...
I pre-ordered this on expeditionportal.com as soon as it was mentioned (actually got 2, 1 for teaching out of, 1 for home use)...any of you interested in overland travel need to join that forum,,,
I would also recommend going to the Royel Geologic Society website and do some digging in the expeditions section for lots of downloadable pdf's that are parts of books. Tons of great info.

Actually this is 2.5
He mentions in the forward/preface part about this being an improved reprinting but not quite enough for a new edition
I have seen the first and second printings and it is something you always want to keep your eye out for .....
Having read it before I know I will wear out my new copy rereading and looking for changes.


make sure all of you check out the RGS site for more cool stuff you can download for free.

Lance this is the second edition printing that is on sale now. Scott says, it will be the last. The first editions were going for over $300 + on the net because everyone wanted one and were willing to pay for it. Tom decided to make one more edition to bring the cost down for people that wanted the information, this is it.
