Yes, and I've also discovered that it's impossible to buy except at an extortionate price. No chance of an ebook version. Seems to be a rare out of print book.
So I might try The Doctor's Plague instead. Last edited by BookCat; 06-29-2020 at 04:15 PM. |

Readers Digest used to have abridged stories.

Didn't Readers Digest collections SAY when the books were abridged? I thought they were not all abridged (though maybe that's wrong).

I found The Fight for Life on Amazon.com
https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Life-St.../dp/B000FJTP48 The details say the books within this collection are abridged. Thanks anyway. |

I don't suppose you have access to a university library, or a local library with a good ILL network? I read it in an old hardback many years ago, and it's excellent. Last edited by meeera; 07-12-2020 at 10:03 AM. |

Cry and Covenant If that is out of your price range, Libraries West has a copy in Bristol library so an inter-library loan should be possible. Well, once libraries have re-opened and covid precautions are in place, that is. |

For when reading glasses aren't strong enough.

Although the font isn't tiny, it's smaller than I'm used to after years of using ereaders, but I'll manage.
@Apache, I just might need something like those soon! @badgoodDeb, Unfortunately the link just leads to a page with lots of items on it. We get really spoiled by the changeable font types on ereaders. |

Ah, I see you are in the UK. Perhaps you can search for the (not-very) descriptive text here. As you can see, I've bought several spares or gifts!
