_The Tudor Tailor_ was published in England by B T Batsford, a large and
well-known British publisher who has always published good books on
fashion and textiles, among other subjects. Their URL is
http://www.batsford.com. _The Tudor Tailor_ is up to Batford's usual
high standards.
Costume & Fashion Press (listed on the American Amazon.com as the
publisher) acts largely as a distributor of foreign books in the US,
though I think they may have some titles of their own.
Authors often sell some books directly that were published by other
publishers; usually they get a clause in their contract that allows them
to do so.
Amazon.com has no agenda of allowing or not allowing publishers to make
sales outside Amazon. They enter data in their database when they happen
to feel like it (which is not always when the publisher wants them to).

I just cancelled my pre-order with
Amazon.uk to save on shipping fees and preordered from Amazon.com.
Amazon.com gives a ship date of the end of June. Although the pub date
is given as April 1st, neither Amazon has copies of book available,
understandable to give small publishers a chance to sell direct first.
