Weber cookbook question

[ramsfan]

Does anyone here own a copy of the Weber cookbook entitled "Barbecuing the Weber Covered Way"? I have two copies of this book. One copy has a green Smokey Joe on the cover and the other copy I have has a black Smokey Joe on the cover.

I know there are several versions of this book. To the best of my knowledge, the book was printed several times between the years 1972-1980. First, is this correct? Second, does anyone know for sure how many versions of this book are out there? Third and most importantly, exactly where in the book is the year printed? I have two copies of this book and I have looked and looked through every page trying to find exactly where the year is printed in the book. I can't find it.

Any help or advice would surely be appreciated. Thanks.

One from early 70's.   72?
Other late 70's           77?

Someone will know exact years

There was a thread, i think by Craig that compared all the differences between the two versions.  I have a first edition first printing version.  1972 (c)

I have one - first edition - fifth printing. 1972. Green SJ. The year is mentioned on the "Contents" page.
