I've been planing on staring this soon. Is it important to have a recent edition. How much has changed since the first publishing?

I'm just starting to read the 20th-anniversary edition (from 1999 I think) and he states in the preface that even the typos haven't been corrected.

But the preface is extensive and interesting, and contains his updated thoughts on several aspects of the book.

Is it worth buying a more recent edition for the preface?

No.

In my version of the book the preface is 23 pages. I wouldn't buy a new book just for that.

How long is that preface?
