While it is nice when a book sells a lot more than the initial estimate, there's more wasted money involved on my part, because the cost to print drops as I print more at a time.
So, SOD has less reprints than OTOPCs because I have gotten better at estimating over time, not because it is less popular.
Also, for the record, the number of printings for each book is:
DCF - 4
OtOoPCs - 5
NCftPB - 3
SoD - 3
WaXP - 1
DStP - 1
SSaDT - 0.8
