Instead of placing the link to the recommended resource i.e. the second edition in second place, push it up to the top of the list. In fact, push the link to the first edition always at the bottom. To emphasise even more that's where new visitors should go, bolden the first link, and make the first-ed link smaller. All this as well as a slight edit and simplification of the copy is designed to make the new and recommended resources the primary path readers take, without hiding the old resource completely.

% Patterns
There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.
Patterns are a special syntax within Rust for matching against the structure of our types, complex or simple. A pattern is made up of some combination of literals; destructured arrays, enums, structs, or tuples; variables, wildcards, and placeholders. These pieces describe the “shape” of the data we’re working with.
let x = Some(5);
let y = 10;
match x {
Some(50) => println!("Got 50"),
Some(y) => println!("Matched, y = {:?}", y),
_ => println!("Default case, x = {:?}", x),
}
