Hi, I am a great fan of Arthur Gordon. I've read several books by him. The other day I tried to order some of his books on the Internet and found books of the same title with three different sub titles. I wonder if those books are the same inside or not. Would anyone kindly tell me?

The tilte and the sub titles are as follows.
Quote:
The title: " A Touch of Wonder"
The sub titles : A Book to Help People Stay in Love with Life.
An Invitation to Fall in Love with Life.
Staying in Love with Life

Thank you in advance.

They are probably different editions of the same book. It was originally written many years ago and has been re-issued several times.

Thank you very much for your information, pugachevV. Very Happy I think you are right that they are just different eidtions of the same books. I have found out that one of them were published by a different company than the other two, which were published by the same company at a different time. It seems that I'd better not order the two other books with different subtitles than the one I have read. Thank you again. Very Happy

Hi, pugachevV. I've got something to tell you. It turned out that you are totally right about your reply to my inquiry. In fact, a colleague of mine got one of the editions of the books I mentioned before and I found out the contents were exactly the same as a different edition I had read. I appreciate your taking time and giving me the information.
