I think 1985 is the 3rd edition, pink cover with the 4th edition having green cover. Not found a major difference yet but the 4th edition has no index. ... at least my copy has no index. I use the pink 3rd most times.
Cheers, Phil
Does anyone out there know the difference between the 1985 and 1995 fourth editions of this publication, was it just reprinted or was it edited with extra material. The former is listed as having 278 pages and latter 300.
Thanks.

There may be a few more items shown in the 4th edn, but the lack of index makes it significantly less handy than #3 which I also turn to when needing to actually find a reference.
Interesting
My pink 3rd edition is 276 numbered pages, 278 if you count the inside covers, and is labelled Enlarged Third Edition with a date of 1985
My green edition is labelled Enlarged Fourth Edition, and is dated 'copyright September 1985' but it must have been printed later because it mentions a list of other publications that include Air Pistols from 1993. It has 277 numbered pages, excluding inside covers. There are, however, 4 pages of info about printing etc.
