Oh, I guess they don't come out as often as Step 1 book then.. Why is it that there isn't a new version every year? Upvote 0 Downvote

Probably because Step 2ck is more of a clinical reasoning test rather than a content/memorization test, so books like First Aid aren't as useful. And because it's less useful information, there's less to update in terms of content, format, etc. Upvote 0 Downvote
