My guess is that each printing run is limited to a certain number of copies. When they sell out, the Guide won't get reprinted immediately, but only after some arbitrary interval, in order to raise demand.I don't quite understand why this should be a limited edition or collection, if the Hero's Guide gets reproduced? I thought the purpose of limited series/editions is to not reprint and reproduce them?

Hm, I see, but what is exclusive or limited then? I was watching it a bit because I love to buy Eso stuff and the Hero's Guide was available for a pretty long time. So if i can buy something 80 percent of time with no restriction, why should it be called limited? And as soon as it depletes it will get reprinted anyway. Shouldn't it be called regular edition of the Hero's Guide then?
And will other things be reproduced the same way? For example the lithographs or statues. Limited would mean for me that there will be only a limited number produced and sold, without reproduction, or it's unavailable most of the time (meaning only one month during a year and not 10 months out of 12).
That's why I am curious what exactly should be limited about it?
I'm pretty sure that there is (aside from AP's) only 10 000 copies and that this is just another part of those 10 000. They either printed all 10k copies and are selling them in waves of X 000 or (as @KhajitFurTrader mentioned) they are doing separate printing runs of those 10k copies.

Sadly, USPS international S&H costs are quite prohibitive to us EU denizens. They represent a buying hurdle which might be hurting international sales. ThinkGeek, which hosts the Bethesda Store, offers UPS and DHL shipping. Why doesn't the Bethesda Store itself?
