what about the next edition?

The third edition, if I had kept going the way I was going, would have been 600 pages long and just unaffordable for me to publish. I was working on a more souvenir style book, but economics resulting from the virus has postponed this indefinitely. I am currently in the stages of veeerrrry slowly transferring all that information to the internet instead....this very website in fact!
