"To the Queen's Taste" and "To the King's Taste" are both out of print. A 
UK publisher had a preliminary agreement for reprint rights about 5 or 6 
years ago but the deal fell through, if Amazon is showing this as available 
I imagine this cancelled reprint is what they're referring to. They books 
are both in demand so not too many used copies make it to the online book 
databases. Most used/rare/specialty booksellers maintain a waiting list of 
customers looking for specific books, if there is someone you have 
purchased from in the past and were happy with the service you can ask to 
be put on their waiting list for one or both of these books. If the 
bookseller does a lot of business within that specialty they will 
eventually find a copy for you, or may already have one on hand.
