I'll have to order this sight-unseen.  I have the textbook and the
1.3 slipcase manual.  Would it make sense for me to order 1.5 with
the manual, or would it be a waste of money?  I remember being
disappointed to find that the 1.3 slipcase manual was for a pre-1.3
release.

There was some talk about a discount for 1.3 -> 1.5 upgrades.  What's
the situation with that?
