Given that the book's publisher is now owned by a private equity company, rather than an old-school hobby firm, it is a safe assumption that any potential changes to format or coverage that cannot be slam-dunk proven to maintain or improve the bottom line from Day 1 are off the table.
It is rock-and-hard place. Ink-on-paper hobby reference catalogs/price guides are circling the drain and no one has yet to come up with a viable model for selling this information on-line. A good guess is that in the coming years (if there ARE coming years for this title) we will see fewer pages and more content shifted to the accompanying DVD. Resulting reductions in print costs and shipping MAY allow for a more attractive price point.
