What is the difference between the original version & the revised version?
Hava Hava Jun 22, 2011 07:20AM
I saw that this book originally came out in 2005, and then a revised edition in 2010. What is the difference between the two? Is it worth it to seek out the 2010 version? My local library has the 2005 version on the shelf, but I don't want to read it if the 2010 version is better/worth tracking down. I have been searching online, and nobody seems to have posted what the difference is (at least that I could find). Thanks!

Diamond mentions this on the book page. There is added information and a full chapter Angkor at the end:

I haven't seen the 2010 edition but I would wager that the original is more than 95% of the newer edition. As Michael said its a damn good read and you can't go wrong reading the original.
