Stan,
You are right, we have plenty of stock.
An interesting aspect is that Skyhorse listed the book for $12. They sell it to Amazon at 60% off, or $4.80. Then they pay royalties of $2.52 per copy to the Brits. That leaves a profit of $2.28 and they haven't yet paid to print it! On that score alone, I don't think we will see a 2013 edition.
Separately, I was talking to the Chief of the US Naval Observatory a month ago, and casually asked him what he thought of Skyhorse using their name on a book. He said they didn't like it and are taking steps to prevent it happening again.
I would be surprised to see a 2013 edition from them.
Ken

Correct on the edition. And, as I recall, Celestaire is affiliated with the publisher, Paradise Cay Publications, Inc., so I'm pretty sure there is stock. (Ken, correct me if I am wrong.)Stan
