I am curious -- I was very, VERY lucky this year at our Friend of the
Library book sale (where you can usually pick up a Britannica or World
Book for a buck a book, if you can find all the boxes with all the
volumes), to find a 1937 OED, 10 volumes, $10, can't beat that with a
stick -- but what more is there in the later 2nd edition that is a few
more volumes?  Is it more words, newer words, more text referents, all
of the above?
