I am guessing it has because almost all breed descriptions change over time. I hear that the new SOP is coming out soon so you might be able to get some of the surplus 2010 SOP on sale from places. I do have one question.... How did you get the 1906 copy of the SOP is it like a family heirloom or something because that is amazing that you have it.
I don't know, they're pretty proud of that book. It seems to me that they would make a bigger profit by selling it for $20 to a wider market than for $60 to a much smaller one. Most publishers are making money hand over fist on inexpensive farm-related books with everyone trying to go natural and more and more people getting into the world of poultry. It's just a stone's throw from raising a couple of chickens in your backyard to taking them to the local fair to show, but their pricing is a big deterrent to owning their book and knowing how to select birds that meet the standard. I collect old books (the kind that are actually worth paying $60 for) and came across that one online.
