   I checked Amazon.com.

   THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY OF INDO-EUROPEAN ROOTS is actually not a first edition, but you'd never know that from Safire's column.
   YOUTHOPIA U.S.A. by Sol Steinmetz has been out since July 2000.
   THE DICTIONARY OF NEW MEDIA by James Monaco has been out since November 1999.
   WORDS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE by Robert Greenman is out of print!
    But it's still better than Allan Metcalf!!
