1.0 out of 5 stars Another repacking of old stories, November 29, 2003

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Ship Who Saved the Worlds (Hardcover)

This is the second time in a month that Anne McCaffrey's publishers repackaged old stories into a nice hardbacked version. I read The Ship Who Won and The Ship Errant when they are originally published -- now, years later, you can get them both in one hardcover. I still have my old paperbacks, I wish I'd known this was a repackaging, I wouldn't have wasted time or money.

Beverly Bruening (Sipesville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ship Who Saved the Worlds (Hardcover)

I wish I'd seen a review of this book before i bought it! Nothing in the advertising told that it was a reprint of two old stories. I bought it expecting a wonderful new Anne Mccaffrey book and got stuck with reprints of two books that i already own. Amazon needs to alert readers to reprint books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reprint of two older books, December 11, 2003

Lurcorsr "lurcorsr" (OK) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Ship Who Saved the Worlds (Hardcover)

This is a great book if you don't previously have the two books that are compiled here. I did have the two books and was disappointed that the description did not say that this was a compilation of the two brain ship books about Carialle and Keff. Therefore, I am returning the book.
