Subject: Egyptian Arabic book NEW?

regarding the announced book:
AUTHOR(S): Vollers, K.
TRANSLATOR(S): Burkitt, F. C.
TITLE: The Modern Egyptian Dialect of Arabic
SUBTITLE: A Grammar with Exercises, Reading Lessons and Glossaries
YEAR: 2011
PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press
ANNOUNCED IN: http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-2448.html

Why is this book being sold as 'Modern' or 'new' if it was first published in 1895?
I bought a Concise grammar of the Turkish Language on Amazon last year and it was reprint of an old book on Ottoman Turkish in Arabic script.
