Default 1st and 2nd design owners manuals?

I see that there are 1st and 2nd edition owners manuals being sold on EBay and through other outlets. What would be the differences in them?
My 1960 corvette is pretty late (May 27, 1960) in production number, so would that mean that I would want a second edition when I decide to purchase one?
The original ones seem to go for some good dollars, so I may just buy a reproduction one, but if I decide to step up to the plate and buy an original one, I want to make sure that I spend the money on the correct one!
Thank you for any information that you may provide!

Hi Greg,
From what I have heard, the first edition was delivered with the first cars and if a change was made during the car year, the owners manual was updated and second edition was issued.

Hows you car coming?

Thanks for the reply Bill. My corvette is coming along! I hope to be bringing it back to Lincoln soon for final bodywork and paint. I would like to stop by and see you some time when I am down there. Talk to you soon!
