It could be an error, and I am not discounting that, and it was part of the reason I would have preferred Amazon publish my review. It may have prompted a fix, like happened for the first book, and so I later amended my review to make it less accusing. I was even going to remove the review altogether in a few days. I may even still do so, but Amazon's response is annoying.
I have no interest in buying the book at its previous price either, as it was still a ripoff at that, as the rest of my post showed. So I won't ask them to fix it, as I was gonna wait until they lowered the price sufficiently anyway before buying.
And to respond to another reply above ...
REMOVED BY SELF .... As much as I can, I take steps to future proof my collections.
P.S. With any luck, if it was an error, they will notice within weeks, and think ... "Crap, no wonder no-one from AUS has been buying. Maybe we should give it a good discount for a bit." That could be my moment of purchase.
