Ken: Yes, the 2nd edition will be an expanded, enlarged edition of the first edition. There are a number of additional flag photos that he has to purchase from institutions (and pay a publication fee for). The first edition is being offered in order to pay for these additional photos and fees. (And we're talking about thousands of dollars in photo/fee costs here!) Once the additional photos and publication rights are secured, the second edition will be published, with proceeds from that second edition going to Beauvoir and MS Flag restoration. Many thanks for your inquiry! And, trust me, you'll be more than satisfied with the first edition! -- Jim Huffman, Gainesville Vols
