Ah, obviously some new usage of the term "traditional" I wasn't
previously aware of.  How can a book copyrighted just this year be a
traditional favorite?  I realize life rushes madly by in 1990 post
industrial countries, but surely the term "traditional" still requires
at least _one_ year of, well, tradition.  Or is 1995 the most recent
publishing date, not copyright?

Yes, I'd say this is a rather new book since we're still a few months
away from 1996.

I've got it: you live in the future and have time warped back to now.
