I suspect "lower costs" may be relative to new hardcovers or something. But they're calling these "classics" so I have no idea what their motivation is beyond meeting a demand for backlist books out of hardcover for some time. It's been twenty one years since the last hardcover printing of Magician (save the Barns & Nobel hardcover reprint of the Bantam '92 which lingered quite a bit longer--years--than the original publication target of six months).
