It could well be. Isn't there a date of publication inside the front cover or on the first couple of pages? According to "Cartridges of the World" the .40 S&W came on the scene late 1989 or early 1990.

It is much easier to fool people ,
than to convince them they have been fooled !
If you can read this , thank a teacher ...
If you can read this in English , .. thank a Vet !
Give Lyman a phone call-- they'll be able to tell you.
Second Edition. Only been four editions that I am aware of . 1st in 1958 , 2nd in the early 70's , 3rd sometime in the 80's I believe and the 4th in 2010 . Is yours spiral bound or paperback ? Never owned a Lyman or Ideal manual with a printing date , just a copyright date .

i have a 1937 edition of philip sharpe's guide to reloading hardcover that has significant collector value. paper-back manuals are only good if you use them. i see these go for 2 bux a box at gun auctions.
If a poster has multiple firearms and calibers, especially the pre 1900 developed calibers ... ya can never have enough manuals. Have 3 cabinet shelves maxed out but have a Lyman’s # 3 on the way. The other condition to have many manuals is if one has many molds

Are old Speer manuals worth anything I have 2 I never use
And also have some old allcan
+1 on the advice to keep them. I have a shelf full of well used manuals and would not want to get rid of any of them.

Yes you can find most of what you want online, but I still appreciate a hard copy. I’ve bought a lot of manuals just for one section of interest in them.
Mine aren't for sale
you can never have too much information,......especially about magnum revolver loads

Some of us are too cheap to spend that kind of money on a ratty old book. Others are just too broke.

If it is more than 20 years old you could go cover price, or if it is rare cover price Plus.
I know I'd of paid double the cover price for the Cast Lyman #3 when I was looking for it.
All depends on how badly its wanted and how old it is and how rare.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
I passed up a Sierra loading binder just today at $16 seemed too bulky and awkward with so much free information out on the web. I have some old powder & have the reloading data from that time period, beyond that I'd rather have updated to go with the powder made now. I also have multiple old reloading mags downloaded to my computer.
Handbook of cast bullets could be the first edition. dated July 1958.
Ask twice what you think they are worth . They will get snatched or sit for a week knock 10% off every week until you get to 10% under what you think they are worth . They will sell or they won't .
Write your ad so it sounds like you're selling because you need the funds , "for don't need the money just freeing up some book shelf space" for example . Use key words like vintage , rare , hard to find , includes data for (insert an old cartridge like 30 or 32 Rem) , etc . I call it the PT Barnum school technique .
I've been surprised by how much other people think my surplus "paid half of what I thought it was worth for the one I wanted and took the other 4 in the lot too" is worth ......valued at .
