That site is a great resource for all things I Ching that isn't polluted by the insanity that often comes from what we'll just call 'other corners'. Indeed, while typing the above I recalled William Fancourt's little essay on Crowley's Yijing on Biroco's website and it seems to corroborate my suggestion above. I assume Legge's would have been the only translation available to Crowley, but I could be wrong about that. I had always assumed that Crowley used Legge's translation and filtered it through his idiosyncratic occult lens. Your third, however, I can make an educated guess. It contains Wang Bi's extremely influential commentary on that text, as well as a very interesting biography of that brilliant young man.ДЄs to your second question, I couldn't say. I highly recommend his translation of The Classic of the Way and Virtue (aka the Tao Te Ching) as well, if you have even the slightest interest. His scholarship really is second to none and his books are just a joy to behold. Lynn is an incredible scholar and provides his readers with far more information in footnotes and appendices than they deserve. It not only contains probably the best extent translation of the ancient oracle, it also contains Wang Bi's fascinating commentary. I can't resist chiming in to make the recommendation that you get your hands on Richard John Lynn's translation of the I Ching as soon as possible.

I should probably comment that i don't believe in fate or 'divination' per se, but do appreciate the I Ching as a 'synchronicity condenser' (a phrase i believe i've stolen from Robert Anton Wilson?), and/or source of random insight, a la Brian Eno's 'Oblique Strategies' cards, which i've used in my music projects.ДЎ) Does anyone recommend anything besides the Wilhelm-Baynes Bollingen translation, and, if so, why?Дў) Does anyone know where AC got the six-coin method?ДЈ) AC, AFAIK, spoke little Chinese, beyond what any foreigner picks up in a country to ask for the toilets, etc.- what is the basis of his purported 'translation'? This always gives one and only one moving line, unlike any other system. The positions of the lines are determined by where the coins fall, with the different coin being the moving line. He advises a very eccentric six-coin throw, with five identical coins, and one different coin. I used to have a small white booklet of the AC version, but that seems to have vanished. There is a very interesting wikipedia article about the varying odds of the various methods that may appeal to some. When i did so, it was always with reference to the Wilhelm-Baynes Bollingen translation, and the three-coin method. I used to throw the I Ching very often when younger, but have not done so in ages, but am thinking it might be useful to do again. I'm sure some of these topics have been discussed before, but not recently links to older discussions appreciated.
