@barryem. Like ZodWallop I doubt that low ebook prices have very much to do with availability. A book that is not available is making no money at all. And once an ebook is produced there are virtually no costs in keeping it available. And it seems that many of the large publishers don't really know their backlist very well. Hardly surprising given the mergers, acquisitions etc. over the years. And, of course, may well not have kept up with a dead authors estate or heirs, and would have to put some work into this. I also wonder whether the larger pubslishers in particular want to revive these works even as ebooks, given the number of books currently competing for sales with many more coming to market all the time.
