I understand that there was a new addition in 2000 (the original version was in 1996, I believe).

Were there any significant additions/changes to the 2000 edition? Or just cleanup of typos and the like?

How about the 2nd edition of 501 Essential Problems? I have the 1st edition. Great book.

It had a new cover, and we fixed a few typos. Other than that it's the same book.

Thanks for this - re: Advanced Backgammon - same question - has it been updated or just revised to pick up typos and the like.

Same answer -- written in 1991, reprinted several times, and revised once with a slightly altered cover and some fixed typos and a new ISBN number.
