I had the 2012 print edition. One of the best books available - the best book that I knew - about GC at that time.
Anti-pattern: Regarding the 2023 e-book edition, I do not see a way to buy it from the site, or even a link to buy.
I thought I was missing something but figured they just didn't have a link to purchase it. I ended up going to the publisher's site to track it down:

How on earth is the ebook more expensive than the physical copy!

The physical copy will only get used by one reader (at a time). The ebook is going to be, err, "liberated" more often than not around a dorm?
In all seriousness, this is likely a nudge to a preference they have for how they want to sell this and how you should want to buy it.
