Query: lonely Planet- south east asia on a shoe string

this book cost almost $40 and yet the product description failed to mention that the book was a 2004 edition. it is now pointless as we are now in the year 2012. all potential information regarding the books contence could have changed during the past 8 years making this purchase useless and a waste of money
