Slot Machines Book - Pictorial History of 1st 100 Years

Just a quick question if anyone knows...
The book mentioned in title by Marshall Fey, I notice there appears to be several editions. I do own a copy, but wondered if the 3rd edition, 4th edition, 5th edition (just seen on Crow River that there is a 6th edition too!) are just re-prints or do they include any changes to the content? Would I benefit from getting a later edition to the early one I have already?

Thanks

Mark:
The First Revision of the Fey book had several additions & changes. As for Three through Six,
there were just slight changes, but as to how many in each, I am not sure. I will have to ask
Marsh about all the differences, and get back to you. If you have one of the first editions, you
may want to update to a later one. If I were to lay out all editions, and go page-by-page, it
would take several hours. If new pages were added, or an original page moved, it would change
other page numbers. So, maybe Marsh has a list of each and every change.

Many thanks for the reply. Don't worry about finding out, I was just curious. I think I have the 2nd edition, Printed in 1989, the second re-print. The first printing being 1983.
If I find a 6th edition cheap I may well invest!

There are copies of different editions on eBay, every so often, and some at good prices.
Since you have brought this subject up, it now has me curious, so I am going to talk to Marsh,
and share my findings with the Forum. If anyone else cares, besides you and I, that is? #-o
