Each new edition has new theorems, the latest is from 2009, so new proofs are considered.

Also, I think that this question is much more appropriate for mathoverflow.net.

@domotorp - you're welcome to flag the question for moderator attention, they can decide if they want to move it or close it. I still recon there may be some value in having it online, since it is possible to get some interesting answers that are not in the book.

But why here and not on mathoverflow?

As I said - if the moderators choose to move it - so be it. This site is more  exclusive to experts than mathoverflow, in my opinion, so I put it here.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is much more appropriate for mathoverflow.

@Shaull, you are thinking of math.stackexchange rather than mathoverflow.net, which is a site for professional mathematicians.

The book ["Proofs from The Book"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_from_THE_BOOK), referencing Erdős' notion of God's book, which contains the most beautiful proofs, was published in 1998.

> Are there any new proofs that should be considered for "The Book"?

While this is somewhat opinion-based, I think the voting platform in our community is an excellent way to rank the beauty of proofs.
