I did reread Lolita about a year ago, after reading it 30 years before, and was thunderstruck by its greatness...but I also reread the Master and Margarita, which for years I considered "one of my favorite books", and just couldn't get into it this time around. So I guess rereading holds great surprises and great disappointments...like everything else.

The book needs to be edited, and typeset, plus you have administrative costs to take into account -- somebody needs to handle the contracts and royalties payments, etc. When all is said and done, the production cost ends up being much higher.
