My edition is 1982 (the library didn't have any others). It doesn't seem too different -- in particular, page 143 in my edition is identical to the page 143 that you scanned and posted (which means, among other things, that there wasn't anything added or removed to the first 143 pages; at most, there are changes in wording). Perhaps it's just a reprint.

That makes lots of sense. I know that the original publisher folded and that's why they had to switch to publishing it through the Association for Direct Instruction directly, but I didn't know whether they updated it at all beyond the preface at the same time.

The book is honestly full of little typos, so I doubted they'd edited it again anyway. I've been taking notes of things I think belong on an errata sheet myself.
