It's very rare that I ever purchase subsequent editions (except in cases of loss or being really far behind the times), but this one is one of my favorites. I will say that that I definitely like the cover more. The choice of paper in the original was a little better (not sure how much say an author has with that anyway). Congrats on the new edition!

I don't really try to infer from a cover what's in a book. I think they just need to be striking so that they catch your eye. The new cover seems to suggest that being a good project manager is like setting of a load of matches at the same time. When I was a kid we used to do this with a full box of matches with one sticking it. We called this a "genie". I'm not sure how my co-workers would react if they thought I was trying to use them to set off a genie! ;-) Anyway, good look with the new edition.
