Ulysses 100th anniversary

In approx. one year we will be upon the 100th anniversary of the publication of Ulysses. I know that FS has done a high quality and difficult to find printing of it in 2017 and an LE in 2004 I think. Any thoughts on whether they will do something on this auspicious occasion? The most recent printing has remained OOP on the website for many moons.

>1 L.Bloom:
I would think it very doubtful that a reprint will be done after the relatively recent editions you mention.
I actually think the standard edition is nicer than the LE for this book.

>1 L.Bloom:

The LE was published in 2004 for the centenary of Bloomsday, 16 June 1904, the day of the action of the novel. I'm not sure the centenary of publication has quite the same resonance.

>1 L.Bloom: I’m pretty sure that I bought the 2017 edition in the Summer 2019 sale, so I also consider it unlikely that it will be reprinted, but you never know!

I wonder if, in fact, they may reprint an existing edition. It's not like the born again Folio Society to miss a marketing opportunity.

I'm inclined to agree with the consensus view but a boy can dream
