If you are talking about the deluxe version, there is one very obvious reason: 
as great as the book might be, both in terms of content and of production 
value, it has two severe drawbacks: you can't hold it in your hands to read 
it, and it is impossible to put in a bookshelf--the book is *huge*! It is more 
like something meant to be placed on a coffeee table so that you can show off 
to your friends, bragging about how much you payed for it. I only bought it 
because I didn't pay close attention to Gladstone's ad, where they specificly 
mentioned the book's dimensions. I ended up storing it flat in my stereo rack, 
as it is the same size as my stereo components, and this was the only place 
where I could fit it!
