"This is the 6th edition of Stolen Sharpie Revolution, including both Stolen Sharpie Revolution and Stolen Sharpie revolution 2. The distinction between the two was only made in the 4th edition to show the change in publisher, I hope that wasn't too confusing. 2020 marks the 18th anniversary of this little red book!"--Introduction
