I had heard about changes in newer editions of JoC. I had checked a
number of my old standards and they were there. It is a shame that
someone in this house keeps the cookbook open near where we works and
slopped up the pages with the most used recipes. Some were no longer
readable. Aside from the altered or missing recipes, the print is a lot
smaller in the new one.

On the plus side.... I have a computer and printer and access to an
endless supply of recipes on the internet. Most of those I use these
days have been entered into the computer. I have a folder full of good
recipes and a couple binders with hard copies. I really don't use the
cookbooks very often.
