As one of the (perhaps few) baseball book collectors on net54, I have no concern about Mark subsequently issuing a later printing of a book, even if that is not within his present plans.
Book collectors are funny creatures, in that a first printing of a book (particularly modern firsts in literature) have value far in excess of later printings. For example, a first of Great Gatsby in a [gasp] restored dust jacket is on ebay right now for a PBA Gallery auction with an opening minium of $40,000.
Books such as Busting Em, Pitching in a Pinch and other classics have been reprinted lately by McFarland and others. They have not reduced the value of a nice copy early printing (What they have done is reduced the value of a poor-fair "reading" ie non collectible copy)
