Actually, now it's the Brown Book. (And, before it was green, it was
blue. 8-)
I think the new color is rather nasty, but the third edition is more
complete and correct by far than the second (in addition to the new
chunks).
i keep my copy of the brown version in my living room, and of the
green version at work... 8-)
