- Therein lies the confusion, then.
-
- Those books should NOT have been listed as "3.0". They should have been listed
- (correctly) as "Third Edition".

- The most current RKMs cover 2.0x, with some preliminary 2.1. There are NO RKMs
- to cover 3.x!! The ONLY 3.x information in existence is the 3.x AutoDocs.

- available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.
