Third Edition
The 2nd edition is in some respects out of date, referencing obsolete electrical parts and omitting technologies developed since it was written. Because of this, the third edition is widely anticipated, leading to perennial rumors of its impending release. In 2006 the third edition appeared in some online databases with ISBN 0-521-80926-6, prompting further speculation. However, Winfield Hill responded with a statement that the book's arrival was still years off.
On Christmas Day 2011 Winfield Hill responded with a statement saying that in January 2012, 15 chapters will have been submitted leaving five chapters. In a subsequent public update in September 2012, Winfield Hill confirmed that the authors were hoping to have the book publicly available "early in 2013", and suggested that as of northern Autumn 2012, the manuscript was still incomplete.
Correspondence with the author in January 2013 indicated that the expected release date was sometime in late 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word edition:
“I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
