I have three older editions, so depending on the info you are looking for I might be able to help. If you paper is due sometime after the weekend, PM me if you want me to look anything up for you.

I understand that Baird's has always been inaccurate to a point, but that the most recent might be significantly worse than some of the older ones.

What pbear is trying to say nicely is that the latest edition blows.

Many of the Bairds do just that, thicker with less information.

PM me and I will see what I can find as I have 4 with the oldest 1930. 1991 is horrible for information.

Unfortunately, the NIC (which holds the rights to Bairds) is using the poor sales of the most recent edition as an excuse for not publishing a new one, without acknowledging that the lousy quality of it is the very reason the last one sold so poorly. But again, NIC is doing a lousy job of most everything -- witness the defection of several groups within the past few years.
