Rich, I wish you all the best with your company, and I will for sure order both the announced books as I know the complete Classic team for a while and they do a great job. I also had the chance to work with them not just once.

As you wrote, the days with print runs 10,000+ are over. Have a talk with some authors next to Eddie and Robert. The print runs of books are sometimes quite small and the books cost a lot of money.
It's not possible to compare your second hand books business with new book business. How many Hs 129 books have you sold in the past years? 20 or more? They gold sold, as they were well made and out of print. They got bought by folks that missed the books in the past. Nowadays more and more of the books get availible. Hard to say but most of the preowners die away. The number of interested person is getting less. Most of the aviation friends are in older age. I'm 39, but do not know many in the same age that are interested in WW2 avaition are scale modelling.
