If I remember correctly, the 2nd edition is mostly an update (plus
some new stuff) of the 1st edition (currently I only have the 2nd
edition). I think the second is also a different publisher (wasn't
the 1st some college press ). Don't know why Vogel's name was
removed later (or what his specific contribution was for the
original).

I picked an unused pristine copy (hardbound!) on ebay for $10.
Luckily it's not as hyped as Strange's book - so nobody else bid on
it! I've seen it on Amazon too.
