Question:
I have the first edition (1992) of Earth to Heaven. How different is the second edition? And does Earth to Heaven entirely take the place of the Gears' other book, or does that also have useful, non-duplicated information?

Also:
Forgive me if my comments on pieces are a little vague -- I'm travelling at the moment, and it's a very long time since I looked at the Gear book.

Mai bpen rai khon Jim,

any comments are welcome to dicuss. I don't know whether the 2000 edition of Gears is supplemented, but if you are in Chiang Mai now, please ask Trasvin Jittidecharak. He is the publisher of Gears "Ears to Heaven" in his publishing house Silkwormbooks, Chiang Mai (www.silkwormbooks.info). I think it's the best way to know. And - please - give him my best regards.

Michael
