It's a major commitment, but it's very rewarding.

The difference in size of the two books side by side, makes me wonder just how much was cut out from the abridged versions. A couple of books worth I'd think. :)holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-57132481244199328262010-12-14T10:28:44.346-05:002010-12-14T10:28:44.346-05:00Steve, it's been a few years since I bought th...Steve, it's been a few years since I bought the unabridged copy, and I read it right away. That little one does a good job of holding to the story. I can't recall anything major that it missed. The other little one I had, though, missed a LOT. I threw that one away, and I almost never throw a book away. And, yes, you are absolutely right about the lesson learned when that young man proved to be so knowledgeable and helpful.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-84735374616007191192010-12-14T09:45:09.222-05:002010-12-14T09:45:09.222-05:00I have the paperback shown, so will be looking for...I have the paperback shown, so will be looking forward to hearing what all you found.

Oh, but it might have been too much weight for your little bedside table, now that I think about it. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-28591870371691323042010-12-14T05:12:58.921-05:002010-12-14T05:12:58.921-05:00It was very kind of you not to mention your I-neve...It was very kind of you not to mention your I-never-met-a-short-book-I-didn't-like friend who was totally incredulous when you said you were going to read this huge book cover to cover. I was impressed then, and I'm impressed now, "That's alot a readin' lady!" When you get done with it this time, can I borrow it so I can read it too? Ha ha, that was a joke. :)Sandrahttp://addhumorandfaith.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-78355692145272833202010-12-13T22:14:53.235-05:002010-12-13T22:14:53.235-05:00You're right, Betsy.
