5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book but BEWARE! February 13, 2009

By Reading in Racine

Format:Hardcover

This is a wonderful book but BEWARE. The publisher's page reveals that this book was published in 2006 as READING WOMEN. The 2006 edition has the exact same illustrations and text. You may not want to own both editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars READ prior to purchasing this book August 2, 2010

By Leesh

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

PLEASE be smart and read this review as well as the other listed for this book. I purchased this book "Women Who Read are Dangerous" for $40 used(acceptable) I also contacted dozens of stores, libraries, the distributor AND author in order to locate a new copy of this book at a reasonable price. No one had informed me that "Reading Women" was infact, the EXACT same book, everything from the text, page numbers and featured pieces were identical! I had ordered the original "Women Who Read are Dangerous" and decided to also purchase "Reading Women" for $6 in hopes of expanding my collection. I was suprised when I received both and compared! Please be careful and I would suggest ordering "Reading Women" in order to save money!
