Not all, but most are. There is plenty of editing done to books when they are shipped over from the UK for US readers. Not only spelling changes, but colloquialisms are "translated" for clarity.

Watched a British cooking show last night in which the woman placed a mixture in a "goblet" and "blitzed" it. The British do not merely blend!
