Penguin really is the worst of the worst.

I posted a comparison of prices for the three books in a trilogy by Sharon Kay Penman yesterday that really highlights crazy prices and the discrepancy between Penguin and, in that case, Macmillan.

I'll just paste it here too, since it's so relevant to the OP's question:

When Christ and His Saints Slept

First published
April 1995

Hardcover - $9.91
Paperback - $10.88
Kindle Edition: $11.99 (Came out last April, but was taken down until January.)

(Macmillan Published)

Time and Chance

February 2002

Hardcover - $8.69
Paperback - $10.88
Kindle Edition - $19.99 (Came over 2 years ago, taken down until a couple months ago.)

(Penguin Publishing)

Devil's Brood

First Published
October 2008
