I have the old edition and was wondering what people thought of the new edition with case studies?
Should I go and get it? or is there a deal for us that already have the old version or do we need to buy again?
thanks.

If you've been following Tim's Blog, you've probably read a lot of new material and then some. Go have a seat at your local bookstore and thumb through it. You'll be able to decide pretty quickly whether or not there's enough new material to justify purchasing.

well I bought the audio book last night and was not happy with the way they redid the audio. Same narrater I believe but not as much ...enthusiasm as the first time around. I felt the first book made a better impact and was way more funny the way he narrated it the first time.

For $12.87 I think it isn't even a debate. Just get it.

I've read both editions and yes, the new one has updates throughout which will save you time. For example, Ferris un-recommends one of the assistant outsourcing assistant companies orginally featured in the first edition because of overwhelming complaints and poor service.

Plus you get so much more out of the material when you read the book a second time. You're much better off reading the updated book if you're going to do another read through.
