New edition of Chapman Piloting & Seamanship

[MileHigh]

Greetings All,

The new 66th edition of Chapman has just come out, Sept. 1 2009. Living in Denver the book is not readily available for me to look at. I'm wondering if it really has much difference from my 64th edition published in September 2003.

Thanks!

Okay, can someone point me to the Chapman website? Try as I have I cannot find a link to the publisher where I might find "new in this edition".

Thanks

Here's a link to the book on the publisher's site.
