Already notified Steve Jackson and am removing the links I posted.

It's the charging money on a commercial site...

UPDATE 1
Heard back from Steve - "Very much appreciate the heads-up" and has been passed to the appropriate person to deal with it.

UPDATE 2
Now removed from Amazon.co.uk but Vol 2 is still available, and both are still available on .com (and presumably all the others). I'm leaving this for Steve and his legal people to deal with, but I suspect it's going to be like all the unauthorised Zelazny digital editions that used to appear every so often. Whether Steve will pass this onto the other rights holder is up to him; I personally wouldn't want the grief of dealing with them, but he may have to cover his own back by doing so (plus they have the resources to keep a watch).

My feeling is that making these items available commercially has taken the project out of the realm of fandom and personal use. However, I am not a lawyer let alone a copyright lawyer, so who I am to say.
