changed their minds on the value of flax oil.
Are there other changes in the new book that make it valuable to read or is it mainly a rehash of the old?

Allen,
I spent a lot of my time on the (now down) PPBBS and have both books. MY advice is to get BOTH books. Each has something to offer and when you are talking health the $'s are not that much. PP goes right into the plan, so is easier for the beginer, plus it has a more accurate way to calculate your protein requirements. PPLP has simple tables for those that have dificulty in calculating figures but are then approximations. Not really that big an issue since you should eat at least your miminum protein plus some for your activity level.
PPLP has five years of more research behind it, some half of the over 400 citations are after the PP was published. It also benifits fromthe Drs. Eades writing the first book and the feedback they got from that. I found it a more interesting read, but I am science oriented. But the chapter on magnesium alone makes the book important to have, IMHO. While the program has no major changes in PPLP, there are enough "fine tuning" things that you need to follow for optimum health. I tend to think that the devil is in the details which often get over looked. In the case of eating, it is the micro nutreients that can make the difference between good and excellent health, given the same level of macro nutrients.
I have to usually order the book at Border's. You may need to ask for the "Quality Paperback" which is a larger, nicer size to read.
For those that would like to check out the bibliography for PPLP, here is a link to a page where I have included all the PubMed reference numbers for easy access to the abstracts, and in some cases the entire research paper.

I have not checked every citation for accuracy [spelling of author's name(s), page in journal, etc.], just those that I could find on PubMed, but that is something like 90% of them. If there is some place on this board that would be appropiate for the bibliography to be posted, feel free to copy it and put it there.
I just realized that if you look at the biblio. you will see the chapters listed. That may give you an better idea of what PPLP covers, and how.
