It also has a bar-code on the binding, the original blue printing does not.

There are also reprints in green cloth published..

Is there an accepted market value on these reprints?

The reprints are MSRP of $122. There are lots of copies (10 or more) online on various marketplaces at around $100 in a search today.

Does anyone here have one of these recent reprints? If so, I'd be curious to know what the quality of the text is like.

For the second printing (and beyond, so far as I know), even though I delivered the book to the publisher as a camera-ready PDF, they actually made a lower-res and glitchy scan of the first printing and used that for the reprints! It made me doubly sad for the people who bought those poor-quality reprints and still paid the full (exorbitant) price.

Here we have three randomly chosen pages from my green copy. The letters are printed sharp in high resolution

Thanks, Ithildin! That's some comfort at least.

The original Hb was reprinted at least four times.

Ah, memories - I had Mr. West sign a handful of copies for me that I then sold - one has emerged onto the market again.
