You are thinking to much on how US sales tax works

£3.99 is the price of the book, the price without VAT is irrelevant and not something that is used (from a consumer point of view)

The book was £3.99, it is now still £3.99 for someone buying the book there is no difference in price, it has not gone up, it has remained at £3.99

EDIT: I see these points where also made above, sorry for duplicating
