The Book Of Forms by Lewis Turco which edition would be most recommended?

Question

I have checked on the net for this book and right now there is the 3rd edition out, are there others( first and second) which one would you recommend?

Answer 1

With very few exceptions, always go from the latest edition.  There are three usual reasons for later editions:

1. To correct errors in the first

2. To update the content with new information

3.  Because the book went out of print and has been reintroduced, usually with a different forward or introduction.

There are other reasons, but these cover over 90% of the reasons...and reason #2 is probably the most common...which is why I'd recommend getting the latest edition.
