Henry,
A glance at the publication date and the order of the names indicates
that this is not an ABRIDGED edition of BDAG but BAGD. I.e. it is the
2nd edition, not the 3rd. I would recommend getting the full edition
rather than an abridgement. While the 3rd edition is preferable, you
would not be making a mistake to get the 2nd edition if you could get it
at a good price.
