What's the difference between the first and second edition of 501 Essential Backgammon Problems? Are any of the solutions changed in the second edition?

The second edition has a new cover. All the problems are the same.

Were there any misprints corrected in the second edition?

Then I guess "Second Printing" (or third, or fourth, or whatever) would more accurately describe the circumstance than "Second Edition."

The cover was changed, which technically makes it a new edition, as opposed to a new printing. These decisions are entirely in the hands of the publisher, not the author.
