Not an answer to your question but the 5th edition is the latest edition (the one you listed is the third edition)

By the way - what do you mean by 'how good'? I find the book to be an extremely dry book to read but that could be just me.

I want a review of the book, any edition. Any suggestion for alternative is appreciated.
