Hey Tom, you'll never guess what I got in the mail today!
Given that I have the 2001 version of "How To Make $100,000,000..." and that people on the forum often refer to page numbers in a prior edition and I can't find what they are referring to in my edition I did a bit of sleuthing to see what I could find and how much it would cost me to get prior editions. I found 3 at Alibris and 2 at eBay and the total cost was only a buck over shipping costs, except for one that was $3.45, or about $30 total.
I have already gotten a 1980, and a 1985 and today a 1992 that is in practically mint condition. I'm not sure it was ever read but there was a receipt from Walmart (Area Code 615, Southern San Diego) dated 2002.
Well, guess what? Inside the front cover is one of your www.aim-users.com labels. It too is in mint shape.
And, as someone commented, except for additions the content is as close to exactly the same from edition to edition as far as I can tell. There are minor differences in book size, layout and type size. For example Chapter 10 starts on 137 in 1980 and 1985 but 145 in 1992, but nothing significant.
What I am amazed at is that so many copies were sold - what I have at hand so far are a 7th, a 6th, a 10th and the most recent a 1st printing - and that so few are using it. It may not be the swiftest donkey in the race but it does seem to be the reliable one to have at your side when you are prospecting for gold in rough terrain.
Tsamaya sentlê,
