I see these references about 1.7 in the forums. I have yet to see any release for a 1.7. Where are people getting this info to talk about ? Is it listed somewhere?
If there is a 1.7 I'd love to get my hands on as well! =)

There isn't. People are using this to refer to the changes that Jason Bulmahn indicated on a stream are likely to make it into the final version of Pathfinder Second Edition. However, Pathfinder Second Edition in general will probably be very different from the Playtest in general, so this usage does not really make sense.
Here's what I captured from the twitch feed after 1.6 that is unofficially my 1.7:
* New Conditions (Str -1, -2... dex, con) (No details) - Doomed 1-4, Dying Condition at which you die is lowered - mega bad condition
* Resonance gone - Just # of magic items you can wear (like our rule) I think, but they kept saying it's gone... then there was an aside about the # of magic items you can wear with no explanation. Then they moved on quickly. I like the idea of a total limit on worn items as opposed to 2 rings, 1 necklace, 1 headband, etc. (edit: since this I changed my mind and don't think there need to be item limits beyond cost, availability, time, etc which already exist.)
* Proficiency - Untrained +0 and you don't add level. Trained +2, Expert +4, Master +6, Legendary +8 -> Update your character sheets to reflect. This gives everyone more AC and Attack if I understand it correctly.

So is there no 1.7 update? I bought the Playtest book, and I'm hoping to have a 1.7 update, so I can keep the book and have a printout of the 1.7 update and class archetypes update, so I can have version 2 fully without having to buy a new book.

That is never going to happen.
It’s been stated very clearly that thereks going to be way too many changes for an update document to be feasible between here and a midpoint to final, the end result is going to be entirely a different thing.

Pathfinder 2 (Or whatever the final name is) will be more than a little different to the Playtest book. Too much for an Update:
Some chapters (like chapter 1) will be rewritten.
The spells-chapter will not include "focus spells" (that have been called "powers" previously) in between regular spells.
Many spells will be tweaked (duration, damage...).
Archetypes will be reworked and the 'missing' class-archetypes (that got included later on) incorporated.
The whole chapter on magic items has to be checked and changed to get rid of resonance.
... Conditions ...
There's going to be so much changed that any update would likely be larger than the Playtest book is right now.
Yes, your Playtest book is very much pure nostalgia now (same as my softcover and my hardcover Playtest books are now).
Also, to be clear, Paizo only printed the Playtest books for those who either wanted the physical copy for ease of playtesting, or wanted a piece of playtest history, or both.
The playtest PDF was always free, so it wasn't like they were trying to make money off of the playtest.
Hopefully, if people find PF2 worth playing, they'll buy the new book or pdf.
