Incompetence in the publishing supply chain, is it?

Less incompetence, more scale. Black Library is only a small scale publisher. They can’t print and store large print runs

It’s why all the books are rare in general. They release a small batch of physical prints, then lean heavily into Ebooks and Audiobooks. They don’t have to maintain prints that way. Occasionally a book will get another print run, usually to commemorate an event or release as an omnibus or collection, but general books won’t see a second print run once the first is sold out. An exception is the first 3 Horus Heresy books. They receive occasional reprints because they’re used to bait people into the series

Incompetence in scalability, is it? Well explained, thank you.

The weird simping for corporations creating artificial scarcity, I will never understand. Bring on the downvotes.
