I strongly suspect it's from the original Ace edition. The Ace edition did 
not have it's copyright renewed. The changes in the later editions under 
the new title were published after renewals were no longer required.

When I looked into this a few years ago Chip wanted Project Gutenberg to 
do the newer version. We never did get all of the paper work done though. 
I've got copies of both the Ace and the newer 3-in-1 volume. I've never 
tried to look to find out what changed though.
