The second result is The Three Musketeers. It might be a fine book, but it's not Austen. The fourth result is Wuthering Heights. The 6th result is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The 9th result is Agnes Grey Anne Brontė. The 11th result is A Tale of Two Cities. Very strange results.
Thats just Amazon's normal search, they return the stuff they think you are looking for first and then a bunch off similar stuff you also might want to buy - so when you sort by price things look strange because of the stuff they tacked on the end of the results you wanted. It's not just books, it's across the entire site.
