Among other things, the second edition addresses the alleged identification of Booth's teeth at the 1869 viewing at Harvey and Marr's.

Mike, I'm including a better photo of John Byron Wilkes than the one in your article. Also, the 2nd photo of John Wilkes Booth appears to show a dark area between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, which is unreadable, but may confirm that's where his initials were were written in India ink, as reported by his sister, among others. I couldn't find a better photo of his left hand.
