I don't own the most recent reprints, myself, but jcf is disappointed with the quality. I'm holding off until I manage to flip through one with my own hands. I may have to get Firepower, but I'm waiting for now. I own about five of them already, so I don't need most of them as it is.

Cheers,

Logan

As explained elsewhere, whilst the quality of the reprints is not up to the same standard as the originals (and I have multiple copies of both old and new), they are certainly ok if you are interested primarily in the information contained and not just the way they look.  They are certainly also a lot more accessible and better priced since some of the original Hunnicutt publications go for quite a bit these days.
