Why do they cost so much? I really want to get one (vol 1) for my Birthday in December. But then they might have sold out and then I will have to play like £400 which is pretty crazy for a book.

Again: These are limited editions from a small speciality press, not mass market releases.  Hence a higher price.
  
Not to mention they are profusely illustrated with lots of color reproductions and using high quality paper.  Page length and dimensions of the books -- coffee table style -- increase publishing costs, too.  Outside of Harryhausen's own books no fan should be without this trilogy.
