Perhaps they reprinted with "the fault" in order to milk the "limited
edition" factor?

And remember the "best seller rank" is regionally dependent, i.e.
different Amazon servers will deliver different results.

There is also historical hysteresis to their figure:  my "Developing
Java Software" second edition still rates higher than the third edition
even though the publisher reports the third edition has sold the same
number of copies -- which is actually quite a lot thankfully.
