Could you tell me what is the 'Date of issue' on page vi of your manual?
The date of issue in mine is 'November 2012' - the back cover on mine has a copyright date of 2020.
Wanted to make sure this is the latest version.

You mentioned in your post that this is printed on oil resistant paper - seems to be normal paper to me. I'm a bit hesitant to test whether it is oil resistant. Does anyone know how to make out it if it is oil-resistant paper? The cover does seem to be thicker and laminated.

At $49 from Helm, printed on oil resistant paper, it's truly a bargain, and probably one of the last manuals of this type available in print form before everything goes digital.
I just did a little home test. Put a dab of oil on a finger, touched a piece of regular printer paper (what most people selling on-demand copies of manuals use) and it immediately soaked through, no way to wipe it off. Did it on a page of my manual, and I was able to wipe it off with a tissue with minimal stain, no soaking through to the other side.

Mine is Nov 2012 but printed 2017. I don't think there were any revisions.
