2011 Red Book Professional Edition?

It's well-explained on the Wizard site: http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/red-book.html

"The Professional Edition is a new and enlarged version with expanded content to help intermediate and advanced collectors and coin dealers build their collections and make smart purchases and sales. The book is physically larger than the regular-edition Red Book (almost 50% larger, at 8.5 x 11 inches), and spiralbound for convenient reference. Expanded features of the Professional Edition include: Expert guidance on striking and sharpness characteristics for each coin type-valuable information when inspecting coins for purchase; Insight on availability and condition rarity for each type; Detailed grading instructions, including for Mint State and Proof coins; Certified population summaries, for every date and mint mark including the number certified, the average grade, and the percent in Mint State; Expanded valuations, expanded grades for each date, including multiple Mint State and Proof levels, plus Full Bands, Full Bell Lines, Cameo/Deep Cameo, and other specialized designations; Auction records for every coin listed; Additional die varieties in every denomination, with close-up photographs; Informative chart notes that expand on the history, characteristics, and market values of important coins; Detailed research and market information on early (pre-1858) Proof coinage, including gold; High-quality, full-color photographs of both circulation-strike and Proof coins, for every type; and enlargements of key focal points and varieties, many more than in the regular edition."

Assuming the book delivers what it claims, it sounds like it's probably well-worth the extra $8 (were it actually available)

I read that it only includes prices for MS grades and beyond, but also have yet to see one.

Hello,

I just purchased last years edition(2013)in a spiral-bound paperback format which I didn't realize was even made.

Some of the hard cover, spiral-bound prices of this book were astronomical but the one I purchased seemed to be quite a deal at $ 22 on Amazon.

At the time I made my inquiry Amazon could not find any 2014 or 2015 editions.

Similar to CherryPickers I am sure that some new variety finds are present in these later editions but I was not that motivated to invest in some of the significantly higher prices I recently saw etc.
