It wasn't available when I last looked. How radically different is it to 6th ed? Is it just more pump station nonsense or is there actually owt new about pipes and manholes?

its mainly pumping stations, 10 pages of different manhole sections and more up to date illustrations, got the paper back this time to keepo in the truck, was only £37 from riba.
there a bit on the preformed bottom section that you can now get factory benched etc, they look good but expensive
but the main update is on the adoption of sewers by the water companies, lots on that.

I suppose I should get a copy, if only to be up-to-date, but it does seem that certain important docs/books that used to have a shelf life of at least a decade now seem to be updated every couple of years. My 6th ed is hardly creased, whereas the 3rd ed (which ran for years) is dog-eared, mud-spattered, wrinkled-from-rain and generally well-used. I got me money's worth from that, but later editions are pretty much pristine.
