Yes! Touted on the cover as the "1st & last edition". There are two versions of page 111, with an apology (and an apology for the apology) if you thought the first was offensive. There is also Illustrating Basic (1977) and Illustrating FORTRAN (1982) by Donald Alcock from Cambridge University Press. [edited to fix publishing dates]

没错！封面上还吹嘘说是“第一版也是最后一版”。第 111 页有两个版本，还附带了一份道歉信（以及一份针对该道歉信的道歉信，免得你觉得第一版冒犯到了你）。唐纳德·奥尔科克在剑桥大学出版社还出过《Illustrating Basic》（1977）和《Illustrating FORTRAN》（1982）。[已编辑以修正出版日期]
