Second edition on both of them.

The second edition of the Cookbook updated and expanded the existing  
material. As far as I can remember little or nothing that wasn't  
outdated was removed.

The second edition of APP is a pretty major rewrite. Which is good  
because the first edition really wasn't very good.
