Reprinting the CANON MISSAE AD USUM EPISCOPORUM AC PRAELATORUM

It has struck me recently as I was again asked about this liturgical book that some industrious liturgical publisher needs to reprint the "CANON MISSAE AD USUM EPISCOPORUM AC PRAELATORUM" that is used during Pontifical Masses in the usus antiquior.

I am aware that we have Catholic publishers who follow the NLM. The question is, have any of your considered a proper reprint and binding of this liturgical book, or if not, would you?

With the motu proprio, there is certainly becoming greater need for it as even bishops are now feeling more open and inclined to celebrate the ancient liturgy -- a natural result of the teaching that this missal remains sacred and living even today and was not absolished.
