Uranographia by Johannes Hevelius

Just wondering, are their any well done facsimile copies of this famous tome that are reasonably priced?

I had a quick google search last night and couldn't really find anything. I just can't believe that some of these classic volumes have not been reprinted for society to enjoy. It can't be copyright related issues, since none of these tomes would even remotely have copyright still. I can only guess that those who are lucky enough to be able to afford originals of these want to horde them for themselves and not share with anyone else, as a sign of prestige, wealth and power. Which is a shame.
