    On Amazon.com Peter Kahrel’s “GREP in InDesign” is the 3rd edition, v2 from 2019. Is that same version, v2, what’s available for download from CreativePro?

    And does anyone know how much it differs from the earlier 3rd edition from 2018?

    Thanks

    The versions should be the same… The GREP book in the CreativePro shop is also 3rd edition (though I see that it doesn’t say that in the description… I’ll see if we can fix that): https://creativepro.com/product/grep-in-indesign/

    Perhaps you were looking at his Javascript book? That is 2nd edition.

    Thanks for the reply, David. I was actually wondering about the two versions of the 3rd edition of GREP in InDesign.

    I have a copy that says “3rd Edition” and has a copyright date of 2018. The one available on Amazon.com says “3rd Edition, v2” and has a copyright date of 2019.

    What I’m really wondering is if there’s enough difference between the two versions to make it worth buying the newer one and if it’s the newer version I’ll get if I buy it and download it from CreativePro.com.

    Ah! Gotcha… Ooops, that’s probably a mistake. I believe it’s the same, but the one on Amazon probably didn’t come out until 2019.
    Granted, the PDF version (from the CreativePro shop) may have minor edits that aren’t in the print version (because it’s much easier for us to update the PDF, of course.) But if you want a print copy, then I don’t think the differences would be terribly noticeable.
