There is (or was) an apparent glitch in the Amazon system. I found several Eerdmans books for 99 cents whose prices are generally much, much (think $25-40 or so) higher than those prices.

I purchased the ones that I saw that I was interested in. The prices on the product pages showed 99 cents. I double-checked, and the prices were each 99 cents in the order details in my "content and devices." However, several weren't appearing at all; I'll check again later.

I did not find the 99 cent prices by doing a low-to-high price search on Amazon's site, these 99 cent deals all showed up after the actual product information on the product pages, where it says, "Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations."

Then, the deals dried up, at least for me. There were still quite a few ebooks, under "Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations," that I saw for 99 cents, but when I went to the product pages, the prices were back to the regular prices.

I don't know why the prices dropped, and I don't know why they appeared, on the product pages, back to what they used to be. In case something in Amazon's computer said, "something is wrong here," give it a try and see what happens for you.

Good luck.
I think it's just some Eerdmans discounts. I see them from time to time. Some of the books that I saw at $0.99 were ones I've posted in the past. I bought a couple of new ones. The prices went back up on a few others before I had a chance to look at them again. If the publisher has any announcements of what is on discount, I haven't been able to find them. Catch-as-catch-can.

I currently see several at $0.99:

Stanley Hauerwas The Wisdom of the Cross: Essays in Honor of John Howard Yoder

Wilbert R. Shenk North American Foreign Missions, 1810-1914: Theology, Theory, and Policy (Studies in the History of Christian Missions)

Rein Bos We Have Heard That God Is with You: Preaching the Old Testament

For $2.83 is Vladimir Solovyov The Justification of the Good: An Essay on Moral Philosophy

It sometimes takes a while before books show up in the contents and devices list.
