I have great hopes that there will be a third printing. If all you folks out
there in netland buy a copy, there probably will be:-) I confess that I don't
know of any easy way to tell the first from the second printing, except to
have you look for some of the bug-fixes that were made:

(1) In color Plate III.20, all three cubes should have the red side on the left.
(2) The quoted paragraph at the front of the preface should not contain the
    phrase "help make graphcis programming rational and straightforward"
    twice: it should be there only once.
