"Now" meaning currently or "still in print". Poor phrasing I guess.

"Still in print"? For a POD?

Dig, dig, dig...

Are you saying it is not "in print"? I would think a POD is, by definition, the most "in print" that a book could possibly be.

And yes, I have seen POD titles get pulled, so they can go "out of print".

But really, I just like digging. Glad I can give you a moment of entertainment

Hello.

Reviving this old thread: could someone please tell me if there are substantial differences between the original 1960 edition and the POD 50th anniversary edition?

Thanks!

There are not. It is essentially just a reprint.

I think with all these PODs what is being asked is: has the text been reset? I have none of these, and have seen none of these, but the assumption, with them being POD, is that they have not. Title pages & copyright pages aside, these are all likely photographic reproduction facsimile editions. Therefore the core texts (including typeface & layout) are identical. DJs are not part of the printed content of the book.
