A recent comment on the IT Skeptic website suggested there had, but nothing official shows up. There is some evidence of it though.
Recently Liz said: Quietly, in the dead of night, without any publicity, or release note (what is one of those?) or anything else, new copies of the 5 core books have been released. Apparently "As the second impression of these publications only contained minor amendments to typographical errors so The TSO website says for each of the five books Service XXXXX Book Published: 30th May 2007 ... so go figure. The eBook has been revised but not the hardcopy or PDFs?? So has anybody bought a recent copy or seen an announcement? Are we officially up to second edition of ITIL V3 yet?

Got a tricky question about ITIL?

Lunatic emperors with no clothes
Really given the fact that we are supposed to be time poor and working so hard, one really has to wonder why anyone bothers with what the OGC, ITSMF etc want to do with ITIL.... As for the compliance brigade...where is the value add? That is my 2 minutes of the day wasted so I am off...

about five billion bucks
ITIL is interesting for one simple reason: because there are about five billion bucks spent on it each year. That gets my attention.
