Has anyone ran across this before?
I was asked by a friend if I had read Last Chance to See (by Mark Carwardine). I had read the Ballantine Books version and said yes I had. (note: I edited to remove by Douglas Adams as I had mentally though that when she asked)
She proceeded to ask me what I thought of the part about them talking about eating manatee. I had to pull up my ebook and search because I didn't remember reading about any manatee.
No manatee in my book. We did that about several things, including the fact that the chapters were all different names and mine read way different than hers.
It turns out that her copy of Last Chance to See (the HarperCollins ebook version) with "forward" by Stephen Fry is actually Mark Carwardine and Stephen Fry following in the footsteps of Douglas Adams.
How very frustrating that both books covers have the same title just the author names different (Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine on the Ballantine version which was originally published in 1990) and Mark Carwardine and Stephen Fry on the HarperCollins version.
That Stephen Fry had written the forward was kind of not an indicator that these were two entirely different books. I have frequently seen reprints of books with a new forward by someone else. Oh well, I just had to borrow hers to read and it was quite enjoyable.
I kind of felt that it was not "sporting" of Mark Carwardine to put the same title on the "tribute journey" book as on the original. What do you think??
