@g01df1sh

I'm referring to "Commodore: A Company on the Edge."

If you can find a copy at a decent price let me know.

What did Brian change in the second edition? Did he add that extra chapter about TED chips?

@Rob

That's the one: they changed the title for the second edition (2010).

@BigD

Good question... for some reason the second edition is harder to find and significantly more money.

From what I remember from the launch of the second edition, it includes more first-hand anecdotes and interviews, so probably an understandable reason for the second edition to be more popular. It's still available as an ebook for a few quid if anyone is interested in reading it.

@Daedalus

$153.28 for the 1st edition and $175.43 for a new copy of the 2nd edition on Amazon right now. Both seem expensive and rare but the extra insights from Kitt Spencer would be good to read.
