Let's talk about reprinting books with different titles. Sometimes the
text is different. For example, two Jerry Pournelle titles: _A Spaceship
for the King_ (1973) and _King David's Spaceship_ (1981). The later book
has 9 chapters of text added to it (I haven't checked to see if the
earlier chapters were identical to _ASftK_).
Sometimes, American and British editions have different titles (i.e.,
_... Sorcerer's Stone_ - a change made for a silly reason).
Sometimes, the book is reprinted with the author's preferred title
(i.e., _Under Pressure_, was _The Dragon in the Sea_ & _21st Century
Sub_*).
*And sometimes I wonder what the publisher was thinking.

Well, Anderson had _The Man Who Counts_, which was later published as
_The War of the Wingmen_. And then the other way around again.
Heinlein's _The Rolling Stones_ was published under the title _Space
Family Stone_ in the late 1960s. Presumably, so that nobody would
mistake it for a rock band. (But, what about Sly and the Family
Stone?)
I think that one of Laumer's Retief books got a title switch, but
can't call to mind which one.
Doc Smith had _The Vortex Blaster_, which was later published as
_Masters of the Vortex_.
