Why isn the new edition labeled “revised” on the book itself or in catalogs?
The Library of Congress doesn’t consider an edition “revised” unless 20% of it has been altered. I didn’t change that much! In my opinion, the wording changes, though minor in terms of length, are of major enough significance to announce, so that people who have read the old edition, or consider buying used copies, will realize that the new one is worth getting. But Walker chose not to say anything about updating in their publicity, so it’s mentioned only in the new Afterword and on the jacket flap.
