KIN Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I have found a great price on this book, but I'm not sure if it is the one SWB recommends in the first WTM. I only have the 2nd ed. of WTM. This is the ISBN #: 9780862729530 Is that the correct book? Edited February 10, 2009 by KIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the book: http://www.biblio.com/isbn/9781856978620.html The isbn you list may be the same book but it could be the British version and is green instead of white. Except for the spelling of some words (like colour instead of color), it is the exact same book. I have both but I am away from home and cannot check my books's isbn numbers for you.

KIN Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 This is the book: http://www.biblio.com/isbn/9781856978620.html The isbn you list may be the same book but it could be the British version and is green instead of white.

Sweet! :) I found this book for $13.49 + $3.99 shipping from a dealer. The dealer is from Great Britain, so it could be the British version. I'm going to push "pay now" on the button. Thanks for your help! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the British version first (Ria recommended buying the British version because it was cheaper and more readily available) and it took a little over a month to receive it due to the long distance shipping. About a year later, I found the white version but in 10 individual volumes. And then last summer, I came across the white one for only $5.00 so I could not resist buying that too! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered one from Britain for a to-die-for price and I would have had an aneurysm had it arrived with a GREEN cover and I'd not known it was the same book.

Pongo Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 It's on Amazon for $4.55, American Version, white cover:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haiku Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That's what I bought, but if you look closely, even though it is an American seller, it ships from the UK. Whether it is the UK or American version doesn't matter to me, but if it came with a green cover I'd have been freaked out (prior to reading this thread). All told, I paid $8.54 (including shipping), as I mentioned in the thread about the different versions of TWTM. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Wow! Those used to be REALLY hard to find...at ridiculous prices. I was happy to nab mine for $35! Bravo for a good find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Uhura Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Is there really that much difference between the old Kingfisher and the new? Is there more text in the old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have my ds outline from the Older KF (white cover) he REALLY likes it, it's quite engaging. I think it's a perfect fit for him, I'd suggest 2nd(strong writer)-5th, and 5th(strong writer)- 7th for the Oxford. My dd switches between Oxford and the red cover KF. The red one is VERY concise and her outline is really kinda already done:glare:, so I prefer her to use the Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 What's the Oxford book you're referring to? I"ve read that section of WTM several times and still can't get in my head all the different recommendations for grammar and logic stage. I have one in grammar and the other straddling grammar-logic stage (logic stage thinking w/ almost-logic stage writing). :lol: Capt_Uhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Can someone with loads of time on their hands open up the old Kingfisher and the new kingfisher to the similar content, and type up a paragraph so I can see how different they are? :001_smile: Capt_Uhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
