Don't forget that the Congress has to authorize the expenditure for the printing of the volumes. The fact that the cost would be a zero-sum (or potentially profitable) venture was lost on the legislator who wanted to have an Amtrak station built in their congressional district in California and who needed to have the same amount as the cost of the station eliminated from someone else's budget line.
It's times like this that I'm glad that someone else lives in the Speaker of the House's home district and gets to explain to a congressional aid why the funding needs to be restored.

Scott --
Supp. V is the 2005 supplement and says "Supplement V 2005" on its
spine, but it includes legislation through January 2, 2006 -- so that
can be a source of confusion. What GPO Access has through January 3,
2005 is the 2004 supplement.
The House Office of the Law Revision Counsel has the 2005 supplement.
Its site includes files
that incorporate
the post-2000 changes into the 2000 text. These can be very useful, but
they're a little strange because they have no published counterparts.
Our copy of the 2000 ed. was received between September 2001 and January
2003, so GPO is already behind its pace from the last edition. We only
have titles 1-25 of Supp. V so far. I think it'll be several months
before we see the first volumes of a 2006 ed.
