Many smarter than me will surely respond, but in case an auction is 
ending soon, I would think that Bauer would be a much better choice, 
even in the 2nd edition. Also, that you would want to avoid Thayer's.  
Bauer 2nd ed. was the standard reference until 3-4 years ago, whereas 
Thayer's is over 100 years out of date.

Also, if you look around you could probably find Thayer's for free.  I 
believe the sword project has a module available at 
http://www.crosswire.org/
