Apparently, this is fact is of consequence only in the case of works
*that have not been reprinted since then*, even in those cases in
which the reprint is now out of print, too. Indeed, the stricture
preventing Google Books from providing so much as a snippet holds even
when the reprint has been merely "forthcoming" for over a decade and a
half.
