A good way to check is by the `finders fee' listed in the book's Preface.
The fee at the time of publication was $20.48 and is supposed to double
with every bug fix.  I believe the copy I have from UW also has it
as $20.48.  It also has a date of, ``November 27, 1985.``

Check the $20.48 against your latest release.
