Good catch.
There are some major differences in the original book
and the 1995 version.
There is update science and also the co-ordinates are 1950 for the first version and 2000 for the updated version.
In some cases the positions can be noticeable for some object's.
You should still get some good value out of it.
Enjoy.
Cheers

I got a reply from David Frew on Academia today.

He said he doesn't have any spare copies and to keep hunting the shops and internet for a .pdf lurking in a far corner somewhere.

The hunt for the 1995 continues...

A scanned PDF copy of the 1995 edition of this book does exist. It is 600Mb in size.
However, I assume there are copyright issues in distributing a PDF copy of the book even if it is currently out of print.

I think they are pretty much all the first edition, most people are after the
much harder to get 1995 edition.
