Hey, cool. I've never seen this. Nice score, Qwerty. Can you give me the ISBN number when you get it? I'd like to try and find one myself.

Got it today.

What it is is the UK Windsor/Chivers Press hardback version of the High Time To Kill Windsor/Chivers Press/Thorndike Hardback (UK) (US).

As the UK and US often print the same Large Print book, cover art and all, (as they did for Doubleshot and Die Another Day) this time they made a slight change for the UK edition. The cover in the first post is merely the dustjacket - the book itself is identical to the US large print edition of High Time To Kill.

So there is technically only one High Time To Kill Large Print hardback - the UK/US Windsor/Chivers Press/Thorndike Hardback - its just that the UK version features the dust jacket while the US does not.

And to make things more confusing, there apparently is a softcover High Time To Kill large print edition. :tup:

0-7862-2338-3 UK hardback w/dustjacket
0-7540-1389-8 US hardback without dustjacket
0-7540-2293-5 UK softcover

Thanks for the info.

Do we know what the cover of that softcover looks like?
