I don't think it is. The second printing isn't supposed to appear until this fall. It may be "store copies" that have been in some store somewhere. Anyway, the book is still listed as "sold out" at the B&N website.
But there's an easy way to check whether it is the second printing: see if the typos have been corrected. My errata can be found at [

I don't know -- possibly, in spite of the textual quality.
