Exact same author.
I included Kopański's 2001 publication (out of print) at the bottom of my post.

All of the book dealers & distributors big & small list the page count for each of the 2025 editions as 184. This is strange. I have never encountered this type of discrepancy before. It's possible that MMPBooks webpage is listing the number of pieces of paper vs. the page count (front & back of each page).

I had assumed that additional photos appear in the new volumes 1 & 2 compared to the content of the 2001 book. But it appears that the 2025 books have the exact same number of photos (160 & 160) vs. the 320 photos in the 2001 book. It would seem to be a simple split just like you suggested. Hopefully larger format for each picture.

I have ordered a copy of volume I - will let ya'll know.
