Verona's comments from the Dick Francis Reading Group group.

I can't really remember my first Dick Francis, but I do know that I started collecting them soon after I read the first one. I just loved his writing style and stories. I have converted two of my teacher friends to reading all his novels, too.

I wouldn't think there would be many differences in the British and American versions, but I did leave the sticker price written in pounds just to remind me of where I bought it. It just gives me pleasure to remember that. I'm almost finished reading it and look forward to reading Silks. I don't find as much time to read as I want to. Thanks for sharing.

I just ordered my copy last night! I read mostly large print books these days, so when I found it on my Doubleday Large Print book club list, I oredered it, plus Dead Heat which I missed last year. I'm reading Under Orders right now and am enjoying it, although I read so little each day, it'll take me awhile to finish it. I bought Under Orders in London a couple of years ago, and am just getting around to reading it. I love the English pounds sticker on the front telling what I paid for it in England. That was a thrill to find it in a bookstore over there.
Love,
Verona
