There is a "2 books & CD" set of Hugh Johnson
1. World Atlas of Wine - Special Edition
2.Pocket Wine 2006 on CD
3. The Story of Wine - hardback

I saw on Amazon that the newest edition of the World Atlas of Wine
comes out October 1, 2007. Does anyone know what this "World Atlas of
Wine - Special Edition" is?

Thanks.

My copy is "Completely revised 5th edition" "Special Edition." Don't
know how it differs from other editions, but it is a great reference
for wine geography -- densely packed with information, photos and
maps.

The one I see on Amazon coming up is:

The World Atlas of Wine: Completely Revised and Updated, Sixth Edition
by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson (Hardcover - Oct 1, 2007)
Available for Pre-order

Since I will probably buy ONE, I will wait until October 1, 2007.
Maybe some of it will be updated.
Maybe the "Special Edition" means that it comes with the other two
items; but, who knows.

Thanks for your reply.

I know the atlas was packaged together with some other book (I think
by Robinson) a year or two ago. It's pretty recent now. I don't know
what's changed in the last three years.

Its M A R K E T I N G !!! Its like using the word "Reserve" after almost all
wines(Italy is the exception). I doubt if there's a big change from the 6th
to the 7th edition. Do you recall any undiscoved area on this planet? Most
likely, some new wineries are mentioned or a few deleted. Before buying, I'd
wait to see how the new edition differs from the 6th or 5th edition.
