Dave, yeah, it’s pretty infuriating!  I know for a fact that publishers will print both hardcover and paperback at the same time and wait 12-18 months before releasing the paperbacks, letting them sit in the warehouse while they make money off the hardcovers first to libraries, etc., first.  It would seem to make sense from a printing perspective to just get them both tooled up at once since the pagination is the same, it’s just the binding process that is different.  But in this case, I can’t imagine why on earth they would wait so incredibly long, unless they are planning to update them in any significantly helpful way, which I’m pretty sure is not the case.  Not to mention the fact that some of this stuff is so damn important, not to mention insanely fun to read when he gets extremely polemical against the ‘present age’ at the end of his life. 

Other than that, were the other reasons that Princeton elicited a grudge?

The question must be asked of Princeton, of course: Why wait this long?! This is still better than never of course, but still.... Regardless of my long-lasting grudge against Princeton University Press, I am happy now. This is awesome. The question must be asked of Princeton, of course: Why wait this long?!
