On the other hand, other RPG companies have tried their hand at the
reprinted sourcebook market and apparently are pleased enough with the
resulting sales to continue cranking them out.
White Wolf in particular has a total of 21 different volumes of
collected reprints on the market, and 3 more due out in the first half
of '99. (About one RPG book out of every nine that White Wolf
currently sells, is one of their collected reprints.)
