Nachtjagd 'combat archive' is a multi volume soft-back 'spin-off' from Boiten's two Nachtjagd War Diaries volumes. Those sold for around £40 each when first published. It's essentially the same content I would imagine with some updating and new material. Not only does the publisher get to put it out twice, the book buyer is paying a premium at around £20 per softback..
 
What did the personnel of the Soviet Air Forces (VVS) experience during Operation Barbarossa? This book tells you and provides the German perspective as well. The revised & expanded edition of volume I of Christer Bergström's Black Cross Red Star series is probably the most important aviation history of 2021.
Highest recommendation

The revised & expanded edition of volume I of Christer Bergström's Black Cross Red Star series ..highest recommendation

...highest price as well - a staggering £105 here. Even the latest 500-page volumes of the Prien JfV series are 'only' 78 euros. Ian Allan already published a Bergstrom volume entitled "Barbarossa - the air battle , July- December 1941" back in 2008. (review here)

The Book Depository sells vol. I for £65.30 with free shipping.

 
The all red 152 was a myth?

....evidence for the red/orange Ta 152 are the recollections (and ...gee whizz ..a signed statement) from Obslt. Auffhammer and Hptm. Cescotti, one stating that he flew it, the other that he escorted it. How much weight you give to that evidence is up to you. Willi Reschke never believed it. Difficult to disprove something that didn't occur and for which the only 'evidence' was 'produced' by the 'participants' themselves
