jeppesen aviation weather book

[Mike]

What is the latest edition of this book? I'm looking to purchase
second-hand and can only find 2nd edition. Is it worth the money?

Thanks.

How much money is that? What is current retail? What is
asked on Amazon or EBay?

The book retails for about $60 from Jeppesen, but you can find several
aviation shops that sell it a bit cheaper. Searching on eBay, the prices
vary anywhere from $20 to $40. Currently, Amazon prices are from about
$50. That's for the second edition. My main concern is knowing what the
latest version is.

Thanks.

Hmm, looks like the latest version might be the second. According to
Peter F. Lester's site, the first edition was published in 1995/1997 and
the second was published in 2000/2001:

page on Amazon is incorrect... they say the second edition is 1995:
