I don't know any newer editions. That translation has always been one of favorites.
The edition I have is June 2000. It's the one that does not have Yao/Line 2 of Hexagram 4.
BTW would any of you be so kind to transcribe it to me?
4.2 could be missing in all versions.
Here's his very nice website (a tribute). Thanks Mary F for starting this thread.

now back to finding the mysterious runaway line!
I didn't buy it for the translation which seems to be a regurgitation of Wilhelm.
But it has a lot of interesting commentary and hexagram lore.
And a good chapter on mei hua yi shu - plum blossom ( change writing ? )
On the front cover why does he have trigram woodwind in the northwest and trigram heaven in the southeast ? Wind is SE. Heaven is NW.

. . Uncle Scrooge?? hmm . . and here I was wondering whether Jou Tsou Hwa's publicists skipped it on the book's online version
. . I like the thought of the runaway line though, breaking out of the book
There are numerous circular arrangements of the trigrams, and they are used for different purposes, so the arrangement on the cover could be deliberate rather than an artist's accident.
I know only two. Early and later heaven.
oh, there's a couple of online versions . . just google it and you'll find them. Yet all of them are of the same 2000 edition that doesn't have 4.2 - hence my comment
you think? I was thinking the thrill would have been if it's not in any book, like Tom said, then it would make for a good story . . then I'd imagine the old master Jou Tsung Hwa saying 'Let's leave that out, give a reason to those who look it up to break away from their usual learning routes, away from the book and what its advice is, out to find their own answers . . find what it means for themselves and see with their own eyes'
But of course that's just me putting my imagination to good use
Hi, Dora:you think? I was thinking the thrill would have been if it's not in any book, like Tom said, then it would make for a good story . . then I'd imagine the old master Jou Tsung Hwa saying 'Let's leave that out, give a reason to those who look it up to break away from their usual learning routes, away from the book and what its advice is, out to find their own answers . . find what it means for themselves and see with their own eyes'

Dear Dora:...
So that's gotta be the space of 4.2: Embracing the unknown is good, engaging(/coupling) with darkness is good, the young (the young at heart/spirit included) and bold find themselves at home?
. . just make sure to keep your wits about you for those first signs of things falling apart - you know, like bed legs breaking,
