Editions of Niven-Zuckerman book on number theory
$begingroup$
There are several editions of this popular introduction to the theory of numbers. Are they substantially different from one another? Do you think the edition in which Hugh Montgomery appears as co-author is the one I should definitely acquire?
Thanks a bunch for your replies!

The last edition of some book in sciences and mathematics is usually the most complete, error-free and, in some cases, extended to include new results. I'm not sure in this case but I think this could apply here, too.
