I have bought both editions, a decision I have never regretted.

The book is well-written, and the concise examples are a great  
advertisement for Lua in particular, and how to write in a simple,  
effective way, in general.

The major addition to the 5.1 book was the section about the package  
system, and the module function. After reading that I understood what  
the module/require functions are trying to do, and am using them more  
extensively in my code now. :)
