Which Books to Buy

I am looking to buy either The Lost Art of Steam Heating or The Lost Art ....Revisited. Does the revisited version include everything from the original along with new information or do i need to buy both?

I already have We Got Steam Heat and I am also looking at buying Greening Steam, The Lost Art.... Companion, and I'm open to any other recommendations you all may have for me. Are these other books worth the read for a homeowner with a single pipe system?

    Get Revisited. I'm pretty sure it has everything from the original, plus a lot more.

    Yes, I added much more that I had learned over the years since 1992. Thanks.

    I have both, but I bought the first one before there was a revised edition. If I had to do it over...I'd buy both again.

    I also liked Greening Steam. I'm not sure where that falls between the original Lost Art and revisited.

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    Thanks for the advise. Lost Art Revisited is on its way.

    I have the Greening book and have read LAOSH revisited. Greening book is very concise and great "lookup" type manual for charts tables and diagrams. LAOSH is a better read.
