$1.99. Can't find no regular price fer some reason.

Rockridge (the "publisher") does that, as do most indie authors - they can change the price, but don't get a regular digital price listing, from what I've seen.
I generally put Rockridge with the screen scraper "publishers", but looks like they are also doing individual authors now - perhaps as a vanity press? Hard to tell, since they have no web site and barely a facebook page (which is hallmark indication of not being a "real" publisher - no submissions page, no contact info, no pages of authors they publisher, etc). I believe they are a part of
Callisto Media, but yet again, it's not easy to verify that anymore (they've updated their pages).
They boast of quick publishing, having what people will buy - nothing about editors, recipe verification, checking for plagiarism, not using stock images for recipes, etc.
ETA: Note that this doesn't mean this particular book isn't a good one. I just generally skip this publisher, but if you follow that particular author's website, you might have a better idea if the recipes will be good. I do wonder that she has 100+ heirloom recipes that were passed down to her. Most recipes of that age date to families that repeated meals week to week and had a few dozen (at most) holiday items to fill out the rest of the year.
