My recollection says they said that between each edition.  My feeling is
that they don't want to sound like they're guaranteeing a new one, and
perhaps want to avoid repeated questions about when it will be ready.  

If there was one certain to be finished, though, and you got that answer,
you might have reached someone who preferred to guess an answer than
research one.

What irritates me about this new 4th edition is that I wrote to Seed Savers
last year and asked if there was a new edition in the works, and they said
that no, it cost too  much to do and with the internet it didn't' make sense
to publish a new edition.  So I bought a copy of the 3rd edition, since I
didn't have one, and now they come out with a 4th.

 

I  like the idea of such a book, though, if for no other reason than to use
it as a compilation of descriptions of varieties, to give me ideas of fruits
to try and possible sources.  Then I look it up on the internet.
