Hmmm... perhaps. Didn't even check until now.

The version I read and liked was translated by Michael Glenny and published in paperback in the early 70s.

Another version I have (picked up at a library booksale because the Glenny is deteriorating and old) is from 1989 and translated by H.T. Willetts. It is longer as it has additional narrative written/added after AS had been expelled from Russia, dealing more with revolutionary activities before the war. I don't vouch for this version as I haven't read it.

Of course things would still go to hell with both boys and girls on the island. It's not like having girls on the island would suddenly turn it into a peaceful, harmonious utopia. Human nature is savage and violent, and when you add in a life or death struggle for survival, all bets are off. Men and women are equally capable of violence and destruction, just different modus operandi.

Looking for old cover art or any info on it πŸ˜“ (Blood leaf series books 2 & 3) Crystal Smith

So I really do love this book series... An maybe I'm being too picky πŸ˜… but I can't get over the change to the cover art after the first book... I like my books to at least match in a sense whether on my bookshelf and you will cover art just looks better to me. Plus the first book I bought has the old cover art... I feel bad bc ik the author really likes the new cover art better... An some places show the old cover art with a new book store you can buy it that I've already tried some of those places and I've already gotten scammed because the books I buy are not the old cover art it's the new cover... Does anyone on here happen to know where I can get the old cover art for both the books Greythorne an Ebonwilde?
