If it had new information, material not included in the 3rd edition
published in 2004, it should be the 4th edition, shouldn't it? To the
best of my memory, the advertising copy also reads exactly the same as
it did in 2004 and 2005.  I spent a lot of time studying it last year
when I had a copy purchased in 2004 and a copy purchased in 2005 in
front of me, and the two were identical.  One of the statements in the
ad copy that I thought I remembered as being a repeat is that this is in
recognition of the RedBook's 15th year in print.  Well, the first
RedBook was printed in 1989, which makes 2004 its 15th year, not 2006.
 
Is anyone from Ancestry listening in?  What is the copyright date of the
RedBook offered this week, and is any of the content different from the
3rd Edition of the RedBook sold in 2004 and in 2005?

	We were thinking about purchasing the "New" Redbook.  How can
you tell that this is a reprint instead of new edition with new
information.
	
	Thanks
