I think the only Banks SF in mass-market US paperback now is _Excession_
and maybe _Against a Dark Background_, and _Excession_ is the weakest
Culture book by far.
Getting the British editions is probably your best bet. (Actually,
are you sure the ones you saw _weren't_ British? $21 sounds a bit
steep for a US trade paperback, I'd expect more in the line of $15.
If it really was $20 or more, you'd certainly be better off with the
British mass-market editions; even at $15, if you order a bunch
you should come out ahead. (It's the shipping that really hurts
on these orders.)
