And I see the Yellow editions of the Deathworld books at $7.77! at $8.66 and $5.33 (when I remember to switch location to US, not UK!). I think the Deathworld books you're seeing at $0.99 are not authorised editions. (The copyright wasn't renewed in a timely fashion, so they're out of copyright in the US, I think.)

All rather weird. It's as if the £:$ conversion rate they're using is $2:£1 or more, while it's currently less than $1.6:£1
$/£ £/$ conversions never seem to make sense, someone always seems to slip some extra profit in somewhere...
