The Ray Bradbury Stories Volume 1:v. 1 is $18.70. It has two customer reviews, one five star by "Bornintime", the other four by "Pointy".

Volume 2 is the same price and has no reviews.

Dandelion Wine is $6.31 and has also has 301 reviews. All of them have a "The price was set by the publisher" disclaimer.






I have just added screen captures.

Do you still insist that they are not available - in some demographics?

You could try this link, it might work.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/B008...kd#reader-link

It is to a sample read. If it does, click back on the book title.

I tried the link and it indeed took me to the Kindle edition, but unfortunately where the price should have been were the words, "Currently unavailable."

I know that quite often Australia has books available that are not sold in the US because of our reduced length of copyright, but in this case I can't imagine why this would be happening. Unless it is to do with Harper Collins and an agreement they might have with various distributors.

Regardless of what I say?

In response to the OP, not you, I gave a link that works (unfortunately without option to purchase) for others. Amazon often restricts availability by geographic demographics - surely you are aware of that?

I made no claim other than that they are available to me and even though your attitude is insulting, I gave you screen caps to show that.

Are you just determined to be offensive? You are insinuating that I am not being truthful. Why are you doing that?

Maybe you should ask Amazon? Sometimes they know.

I know that some major authors have stipulations in their contracts that returns their rights to the story to their estate at their death. This allows the executor/trustee to make decisions. Since author's copyright varies from country to country, I wouldn't be surprised if it were available some places and not others. Just my thoughts.

Oh, come on, please.

Let's all be pleasant to one another. Can we do that?

Obviously, some Bradbury titles are available from Australia, when one has an account there. For other accounts [other countries], the titles are no longer available.

We all like Bradbury. Let's honor him and be nice to one another.

Personal note: I love his work.

actually, i don't much care for Bradbury. His writing is beautiful, but it's mostly too melancholy (if not outright depressing) for my taste.

I too was able to navigate to the book page using the given link but got this with no buy button:

"Pricing information not available.
Don't have a Kindle? Get your Kindle here.
Formats
Amazon Price New from Used from
Paperback -- -- $128.48"


I still think it's being pulled because of a re-release coming up. That's the usual cause.
