Can anyone of you tell me if there is a difference between the book that carol spiney wrote, that was published by Thorndike Press or the one by Villard Books?
I want to order a copy, but they could say if there was a difference between the two books.

I used to work in a library, so I happen to know the answer to this question! Thorndike Press is a publisher that specializes in Large Print books for those who have trouble reading things up close. So, the one from Thorndike Press is most likely a Large Print book and the one from Villard Books will be normal, standard type.

Hope that helps!

Great book!

I had an extra copy after I had Carroll sign one, so I gave it to my library.
