Look, this is the wrong forum to ask about SJG's business decisions. That would be SJGames Discussion sub-forum. Be warned that the answer may not satisfy you.

Based on previous statements, I'd hazard the following: There is unlikely to be a Hardback reprint of High-Tech (or any other book except the 2x Basic volumes), without a dramatic upsurge in the whole print edition rpg market. There may be a Softcover edition of High-Tech at some point in the future. That might be the best answer you can get until SJG officially decides to actually do one. |

That is, no one can provide a simple yes or no answer. There's always a chance that any book will be reprinted. However, that decision rests on changing factors (that is, whether or not the market at any given moment appears to support such a decision), and SJ Games tends not to say if or when a reprint will happen until they've made a definite, positive decision to do so. I don't believe they've announced a reprint, though, so there don't appear to be any current plans to do so. The only thing you can really take away from that is that there won't be a new printing on the shelves for a couple of months. After that? Really, there's no telling, though a look at the rate of reprints over the past few years suggests that such a thing is unlikely but not impossible. The RPG market is in the doldrums, and the ongoing excellent performance of e23 takes a lot of pressure off them to go through the expensive business of producing GURPS physical product.

Re: High tech reprint?
To be fair, he wasn't. He was just asking if he'd be able to get a fresh book from the publisher. It's not his fault that the answer's uncertain for complicated reasons.

Re: High tech reprint?
Ok, fair point.
I think we all should hope for Print On Demand to make its way into Steve Jackson Games.
