Actually, now it's the Brown Book.  (And, before it was green, it was
blue.  8-)

I think the new color is rather nasty, but the third edition is more
complete and correct by far than the second (in addition to the new
chunks).

i keep my copy of the brown version in my living room, and of the
green version at work...  8-)
