Bob Livingstone has pointed out that this was originally published in 2007.
The second edition has 64 more pages so it can be accurately described as 'revised'.

I assume that the cover price for the 2025 edition is reflective of the amount of color used for the photos and profiles.

Not sure how the second 'H' was lost for the title on the new edition. - Assembly Ships of the Mighty Eight_

Edward,

So-called AI is being used by Amazon now. So it gets things wrong but they don't have to pay anyone to input titles anymore. So a win, for them.

Best,
Ed

Ed, it's not fault of Amazon's AI, 'Eight' is the word actually used on the cover of the new edition shown on Casemate website:
