I am 100% sure, " The finished mystery" will never be back in print. This is the book that was written by " Jesus" and started the religion. ummm maybe Jesus has many great qualities, but as a writer of books he sucked. That would explain it.

What is great about digital publications from WT perspective is that they can delete them once they realise it's old light.
When a publication needs to be updated, they only have to make the changes online and next time a publisher consults it, he/she will never really know if a change was made.
Forget about stickers like in the Revelation book or having books and magazines stored at home with old light. They're even abandoning CDs!
Welcome the Organisational Cloud when the concept of time disappear and you can enjoy always from the last fresh glass of the Truth(tm) and where past does not exist!

When I was a proofreader, Bethel, Brooklyn, I remember one of our senior members, Ann Rose, noting textual errors, found in recently published books, on the back fly leaf. That's what we called "errata data."
I don't recall on how wide a scale it was done, but we would take a separate "signature" (folded sheets of paper) with printed corrections and manually glue it into the back of the book.
"Errata data tipped in" means that corrections have been inserted.
We've come a long way, Baby!

Sometimes books carry a fascination simply because they are old. The print font, the style of words used, the illustrations and so on.
The actual information is last in what gives the book its value.
This was always true of JW publications - even when they were new.
I can see how they will hold a quaint charm and small companies will offer them on that basis.

From Watchtower Online Library. Most of the links are greyed out (old light you see!). These one's were still active:

Have and am reading old JFR books: Salvation, Enemies, etc.
The storytelling is actually quite spellbinding and the color illustrations are beautiful and, frankly, erotic.
Subtle?

Back in the day they always used to crow about how they were ahead of the curve, and it was obviously Jehoobers direction, how do they explain this then ? most people now prefer good old fashioned Books, not E-Books.
I do think the Borg wants their remaining captives to use Tablets etc as there is then less chance their eyes will wander to an odd Bible verse or two that contradict what the Borg says.
No Context means No Contest for their bullsheeeeet explanations of Scripture.
