There are a lot of reasons why two copies of the same book would go for different prices
Are both version of the book new? If not, is the quality about the same? Maybe one shop has more copies of that book than the other. Perhaps due to who shops there, each store has different focuses on the types of books they offer.
It’s also possible that one is just over pricing, or the other is giving you a good deal
