Although the data on the title page is the same, this 2nd printing is clearly different in several repects. The "Printed in U.S.A." is in bold with lower-case letters. The 2nd has no bold with corrected case letters in their proper position. Page 43 now contains the information left-out in the 1st printing, and the Products List is clearly different.
