Not odd at all. Prices vary by region (country and continent) for a lot of publishers.

A Short History of the World (Xist Classics) (1922) by H G Wells

180 pp and quite interesting (I have a beat-up print copy)

Contains the first use of "Crowned Republics" to describe Canada, Australia etc.

H. G. Wells was a professional writer and journalist, who published more than a hundred books, including novels, histories, essays and programmes for world regeneration. Wells's prophetic imagination was first displayed in pioneering works of science fiction, but later he became an apostle of socialism, science and progress. His controversial views on sexual equality and the shape of a truly developed nation remain directly relevant to our world today. He was, in Bertrand Russell's words, 'an important liberator of thought and action'.

I think that one of us is misunderstanding (my guess: it's me. ha) what bartveld said about "the first link provided by avantman."

If he meant the first link of the two that he gave, that would be the U.K. link. However, if he meant the U.S. link that avantman gave at first (i.e., in his first post about the book), that would be in the same country (the U.S.) as the one which resulted from my search (being in the U.S. as I am) for the book.

The Six Wives of Henry VIII
by Alison Weir

is $1.99 at

Kobo https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/eb...f-henry-viii-1

Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Six-Wives-Henr...+of+henry+viii

Below is the blurb:
The tempestuous, bloody, and splendid reign of Henry VIII of England (1509-1547) is one of the most fascinating in all history, not least for his marriage to six extraordinary women. In this accessible work of brilliant scholarship, Alison Weir draws on early biographies, letters, memoirs, account books, and diplomatic reports to bring these women to life. Catherine of Aragon emerges as a staunch though misguided woman of principle; Anne Boleyn, an ambitious adventuress with a penchant for vengeance; Jane Seymour, a strong-minded matriarch in the making; Anne of Cleves, a good-natured and innocent woman naively unaware of the court intrigues that determined her fate; Catherine Howard, an empty-headed wanton; and Catherine Parr, a warm-blooded bluestocking who survived King Henry to marry a fourth time.

. . . .

Wow, what a deal! That's less than 35 cents per wife! ha.

When I see the title of that book, I want to break out into singing (be glad that you're not within earshot. ha) the old Herman's Hermits song:

I'm 'Enery the Eighth, I am,

'Enery the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an 'Enery
She wouldn't have a Willie nor a Sam
I'm her eighth old man named 'Enery

'Enery the Eighth, I am!

Oh, thanks for the post!

I'm going to have that silly song running through my head all day long now . . . .

I own the dead-tree version. It is a good read; though it's been sufficiently long ago since I read it that I can't give an honset review at the moment.

Young Hitler. By Paul Ham. Rated 4 1/2 stars, but from only 8 reviews at the present moment. Print list price N/A; digital list price $2.99; Kindle price now $0.99. Endeavor Press. 105 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Young-Hitler-K...ung+hitler+ham.

Book Description
Hitler remains one of the most fascinating figures in history - and one of the most evil. But what created and shaped this monstrous man, and his extremist views?

Paul Ham’s concise biography looks into Hitler’s childhood and the years leading up to his move into politics to see what key events turned one young boy into an infamous dictator.

Desperate to prove himself as an artist, and after the death of his beloved mother, Hitler spent many of his early years living hand-to-mouth on the streets of Vienna, and feverishly consuming the daily newspapers.

That is, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 when Hitler quickly volunteered to fight.

Hitler saw the war, and human sacrifice, as the last act of ‘the fittest’ in the great drama of the human race. War would determine the inheritors of the earth.

This short biography of young Hitler seeks to answer, and to offer a fresh perspective on, a few often-asked questions: To what extent did the First World War ‘make’ Hitler? How would Hitler use his war record to further his political career? How far did Hitler’s experience as a dispatch runner wrench an already disturbed mind in the direction of a violent programme of revenge, culminating in mass murder?
