Yes Sir you are spot on. I missed the first edition of "Vietnam Order of Battle" and thought she was gone forever. At the time I had no Fiscal funds left. Therefore, when it came out again as a reprint and it was indeed cheaper than the original,so I splurged and bought it. So now I am curious as to know how publisher(s) decide what to reprint and why. I am amazed at even the fact that this is being reprinted. This book is considered very rare now with copies selling for $1000+. So basically it bombed on the bookshelves. Popularity cannot be in the top five reasons to do a reprint can it be?
