This is the most recent edition, released two years ago, and it is by GM Nick DeFirmian. I wouldn't exactly call it a "reading book", but rather a reference with annotations. As for the voting list, I don't like the new format either. But, at least I was able to talk them out of putting the current vote total in the list, so the people who DON'T know that the list is sorted can still vote their conscience. jm
