That is not because it is losing popularity or no-one is buying books.
It is just becoming too big.
Ron Palenski, who co-authored the book, along with the deceased Rod Chester and Neville McMillan, said the length of the book was becoming too much to handle.
The book covers every test played by the All Blacks since 1903.
With test number 500 coming up this year and two pages for every test, the book is fast running out of manageable pages.
''This will be the last one in this format just because of the sheer size of it. They were lucky to be able to do this one. It is really stretching the printers,'' Palenski said.
The 1100-page book, which weighs in at 3.5kg, has sold 130,000 copies since it was first published in 1978. It is the largest single-volume sports book published in New Zealand.
Palenski, the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame chief executive, said the All Blacks played more tests every year because of commercial realities.
It took until 1959 to play 100 tests, yet only took eight years to play the last 100 tests. The book goes to the end of this year's French series.
''They have had to play so many tests now because they need the money. It is as simple as that. If they did not play as many tests then there would be no All Blacks.''
Palenski said writing the 100 reports for the past eight years did not take too long and was not too taxing.
The latest period was when the All Blacks had enjoyed success despite what many had predicted.
''When professional rugby came about there was the thinking other countries will beat the All Blacks because they had bigger populations and more money. But it has not turned out that way. The All Blacks have been more dominant than even in the amateur era.''
Palenski believes part of the reason for the All Blacks' success was players were centrally contracted and players could be called up by the All Black coach whenever.
A country like England had followed the football model with clubs dominating and that was at a cost to the national side.
