then all astronomy books produced in America (and possibly in the world) would have to be rewritten. Do you think that will happen? No.
Yeah, the books will be rewritten. It wouldn't require much revision, and it'll give the publishers a chance to put out another version, thus forcing those who wish to keep their libraries up to date to buy yet another volume, making the publishers more money.

Of course, that doesn't mean that people and institutions will replace their books, not until they wear out anyways. Mostly it'll be schools that need new books, but they're too damn cheap to upgrade chemistry textbooks that are 30 years old, so this won't make them buy new books

(Yep, my old high-school uses 30 year old chem. textbooks. Sad, really.)
