Thanks. You were mentioning that to me the other day when I noticed different wording in my #7 as your #6.
I also know form talking with other authors, that it is very common for the editor to change things without consent of the writer or use words that could be used to convey an opinion not expressed by the author.
I think that scenario would help explain why there are extra editions of any encyclopedia and why they are constantly upgraded.
I'm in the same boat but one that is sinking much much faster. Hoping I can find some chapters I can skip over. =) However, I'm afraid there won't be any.
I think you would need to dig deeper into why the 7th edition was created. I think there might be many people say the 8th edition should just be a reprinting of the 6th edition, or even an earlier edition.

John,
I would suggest you spend at least one day with Yoda. Included in the instruction is an explanation and some corrections/explanations of some of the befuddlements found in the book.
I have the 7th edition of the book. I think I would like to have an earlier edition at some point, but I am very interested to see what Daryl and Patrick (Innercityteacher)will come up with.
I also wonder just a little if there is an e-book version yet. That might tip me over the cliff to a Kindle or Nook.
