I am preparing to take the PE in TFS in October and am compiling my resource material. I have read many post here on the resource materials I should have. I know this Engineering Unit Conversions is highly recommended. My question is does it matter which version I get? I can find the 2nd edition for around $10 but the 4th edition is usually $40+. Is the 4th edition much better than the 2nd?

I have stuff for sale in the Yard Sale section. As far as the conversions, people have been using the 4th ed for a long time. I used it 3 years ago.
2nd ed. has 146 pages. (Copyrighted 1990)
4th ed. has 160 pages. (Copyrighted 2009)
Individual pages could have expanded or corrected.... I think it is best to go with a newer version

This. I had the 2009 version when I took the exam and even then had to write in a few conversions that I found missing during my exam prep.

I used the 4th Edition 2nd printing of the 1999 version, and it was more complete than I needed it to be.

It's going to be a moot point for 2020 exams it seems.
