Actually it IS being marketed as the Seventh Edition, though I think this 
is very misleading.  The First Edition is given as being published in 1980 
(Pizzey & Doyle) which I think of as a completely different book.  The 
Third Edition is given as 1997, the first issue of Pizzey & Knight, which 
to me is the First Edition.  I think the new Pizzey, Knight & Menkhorst 
should be the real Second Edition, but they have counted several reprints 
(maybe with minor corrections and updates) as full editions.
Cheers,
Hugo
