The real issue is what one wants the Sutherland's for. If your only interest is vintage bikes, the 4th Ed. (1985) is about the end of the line before the weird off-topic stuff like indexing. I got mine for about $50 from a "for sale" on Dale's CR web site, and some folks have said they do turn up on eBay, too. Sutherland does not sell earlier editions, they told me.
I do find that I use my copy relatively frequently.

Thank you everyone who contributed a reply to my question on Zeus metric
hubs. Learned something new. If I had a Sutherlands manual I could
have answered my own question, or even measured the O.D.'s on different
hub threads. DUH!! And me a machinist, too. Geez, what a dope I am
sometimes. Don't have any French freewheels yet. Guess I'll have to
scare one up, at least as a tester. Any suggestions on where I can
obtain a Sutherlands manual? Is this an archive subject, Chuck (mr.
archive) Schmidt?
