Are you sure you want the recent version? Have you looked closely? Most people have been bemoaning the recent version and chasing up the older version...
I would heartily recommend the older one. I have two copies, I love it so much. The newer one lacks a lot of the detail the older one has; it has a few pictures that I like better, but for the most part, it's kind of... sterile.
Good timing, Golden Moon! I just ordered the Mythic yesterday and was a bit confused at first as well. When searching on amazon, I saw that there were a few listings for the mythic which had different copyright dates. As far as I figured out, these are just the dates of various printings, not a sign that it's the new version. The new version is literally called The NEW Mythic, so it's hard to miss haha.
Let me if you decide to get it, and we can compare notes once they come
