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).

Actually Magician
Deluxe (Red leather) 2002
Bookclub (25th anniversary) 2003 ?
Blue cloth like red leather (Australia) 2010
Gold cover (15th Voyager anniversary Australia, possibly UK) 2010
Ignoring those, the last UK Hardcover was 1995 or maybe 1996 500 copies
of the revised editions, 290 went to libraries, the remainder... I have
2 :) Smaller format than the normal Hardcover
Prior to that was 1987 with the first Geoff Taylor cover, a reprint of
the 1983 Orange cover
There was no 1992 UK revised hardcover, though the 1995 indicates its a
reprint. No one I know has ever seen the UK 1992 hardcover, and it is
believed may not exist, until someone can actually produce one as
evidence :)
