The seventh edition since the first edition in April 1999 ... as each 
working draft was released, another edition was created to address the 
changes.  Customers of any edition get free access to all future 
editions.  Editions also change when there are significant additions based 
on feedback from customers, new ideas to present information, etc.  There 
have been two editions since the November 1999 release of Recommendations 
1.0.  I'm planning the next edition for the September timeframe (content 
changes are less frequent now that things are stable; I'm working on 
recasting the content based on customer feedback).

:{)}  Perhaps you were thinking of "seventh printing", not "seventh edition".

Since the book is delivered electronically as a PDF file, the amount of 
printing is only a concern regarding those who actually print their 
copies.  I've heard some have taken their copy to a place like Kinko's for 
binding, but I think most just use the electronic version since they want 
to work with the new editions when they are released.

To accommodate printing and binding, 10 renditions are available for 
download: 5 in A4 and 5 in US-letter sizes.  A ZIP file of all of the 
examples found therein is also available for those who want to tweak the 
examples for their own exploration.

Printing on demand: you download it and only print it if you want it 
printed.  Writing, production and publishing processes are using XML, XSLT 
and DSSSL (the free download includes the colophon).
