I don't have any comment about this book's being re-packaged, but I can tell you something I've seen that's similar in CDs that I find a bit immoral. There's one particular guitarist I recall who repackaged one of his most popular CDs at least three or four times during the early 90s. Each one was only slightly different, usually just replacing one song with a different one, or even with just a different take of the same song. So his fans would have to buy an entire CD just to get one new song that wasn't available on any other CD. Of course that's changed now with digital downloads where people can just buy the songs they want from a CD, but I think you see what I'm trying to say about the repackaging. It can be done in ways that are really just taking advantage of their fan's loyalty.
