_Stranger in a Strange Land_ is in almost continuous reprint it seems to
me.  At least every time I wander the Science Fiction aisles at Barnes &
Noble I see it on the shelves.

Are you aware of the original, longer, version that was published a few
years ago?  It has several thousand words added that Heinlein's
publisher forced him to cut out of the first-publisedh version.  It's
mostly expository text so the story moves more slowly, but I like it
much better.
