Or, at least, consistently?
What with all the Amazon talk, I remembered that I'd like to add another copy (and of the latest printing) to the shelf, and just curious how many of you folks have bought a copy from them lately, and if it was a 4th Printing.
I bought a copy recently, but I'm curious how you tell which version it is?
Do I just have to look up the errata and compare it to the text?

Amazon has definitely had *plenty* of 4th printings shipped to them over the past six or seven months, but that's still no guarantee that they *only* have 4th printings in all of their warehouses. I wouldn't be surprised if they still have a handful of 1st printings hanging around somewhere.

Understood. I'm just hoping for reports of consistent 4th Printing shipments...
Guess I'll just have to order and see. If it's not a 4th, I'm sure I can find a home for it with a friend.

Yeah, I took the chance - got a 4th. That was damaged, looked like someone slammed the top of it with round bar stock, but the indent/impact on the covers (top of front and back) weren't aligned, so I dunno.
It ALMOST looked like possible damage from strapping (like pallet-stacking and strapping), but I wouldn't think the books are shipped like that.
Anyhow, called Amazon, they sent a replacement that's also a 4th, and it's perfect.
