He is referring to the 2nd edition, which is a much condensed version of the 1st edition.
The link you provided is basically a reprint of the 2nd edition, which is complete, page numbers etc: the only difference being a modern update at the end by Hawass.
So basically your link is the 2nd edition, and my link is the much more detailed 1st edition.
