I like the first and second ones best...and they are different in certain ways. I got the first one (1972) used on Amazon, something crazy like 50 cents, and it even had the original dust cover on it (hardback). Dr. Atkins was very chatty in his writing throughout the book, and I learned a lot of things from his comments. In the 1980 edition, a lot of the earlier comments weren't there any longer, but there was different information because he had been refining his ideas on the LC process since the first edition. And the 2000 edition was also different. I ended up with about 4 versions including one of the newer ones, and I learned from all of them. BUT....I like the first two early versions best in terms of how I eat and the foods I choose. The early versions were much more simplistic, and also did not use the shakes, bars, etc., which I don't like at all. I just stick to "real" and basic food choices as outlined in the two earliest books. For me, simple is better. Fewer food choices is also better and it makes things much much easier.
