That's the original 1961 release. Nothing wrong with it, per se, but it was cut down to about 160K words from the original 220K manuscript, which was released 30 years later.
Amazon AU, Kobo AU and Google AU all have the uncut version. Maybe you need to go for a virtual vacation.

Here is the Uncut ePub edition over at B&N.

The cover of this book is the same as the one over Amazon and Kobo and it says published in 1987, before the uncut version came out. In addition a review in Amazon says that this book (by the cover) is not the uncut version.
It seems that Kobo has a second ebook, published in 2014, which says it is the uncut version. Not couponable though..

Correct on all counts.

Also not for sale in the US, for some reason. I suspect there are rights issues to be untangled, but as you note, not in this thread. Suffice to say, I have as yet been unable to prove that the uncut ebook is legitimately available anywhere, although that one may be a contender.

EDIT: I picked up the preview, and the 2014 printing (ISBN 9781444710236) is the uncut version. The copyright data checks out, and it has the explanatory Preface. Just to be completely sure, I checked the first chapter for a known change, and the text matches the uncut text. So, yay!

It's definitely available outside the US. If you read the samples available you can clearly see which version it is - the very first sentence is different.

I noticed that Some Girls Bite, the first book in Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series is on sale for $1.99. This offer appears to be for US customers only since I can't find equivalent prices at Kobo or Amazon UK.

SyFy signal has their 3.99 or less list up!

http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/201...es-under-3-99/

Some good picks IMO. A few that jumped out at me:

Interview with a Vampire - Anne Rice
Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
Ready Player One - Ernest Cline
5 Volumes of Sin City (looks really good on a eink reader)
A bunch of Ian Douglas space opera books.
The Blade Itself - Joe Abercrombie
Terms of Enlistment - Marko Kloos
Total Recall - Philip K Dick
The Green Mile - Stephen King

Some good stuff in this list!

The Book of Cthulhu, a collection of short stories edited by Ross E. Lockhart, has dropped in price to US $1.99 on [Affiliate tag link deleted - MODERATOR] and $2.17 on Amazon.ca (I hope my links work).

Not to pick on you, but since several people seem to lack confidence in this area, here's a foolproof way to make an Amazon link to any product. This is what I use any time I need an Amazon link on the website I maintain.

First, start with the site itself: http://www.amazon.com/ (If you're using .ca or .co.uk or another variant, use that.)

Next, add "dp/" - it stands for "detail page": http://www.amazon.com/dp/

Finally, look on the product page (or in the long URL) for the ASIN, which for ebooks should be a 10-character code starting with a B and containing numbers and capital letters. For The Book of Cthulhu, that's B006QO1A1M.

Combine everything, and you get a concise link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006QO1A1M

And that's all you need to do!

Thanks for the information Rev. Bob. I know when I click on .com links that I don't see the same page that shows up for viewers from the US (I get "pricing information not available" for example) and I never knew about the ASIN method. Will definitely use it in future.
