Which revision? The original text has been extensively rewritten since the original, including new illustrative stories from after the original author's death.

A revision recent enough to include an anecdote about Stevie Wonder. I'm aware (and was aware at the time) that the original is often deemed to be less diluted by late 20th Century sensibilities. I took the trade-off so I could listen to it while walking to work.

Yeah, that's the 1981 edition (if there hasn't been an even sooner one). It's still damn fine.
