Paula,

There are different editions of each of my books: hardcover, paperback, trade paperback formats. Editions may be different sizes due to different book dimensions for each format, as well as factors such as the typefaces used.

Usually my books are released in hardcover editions first. Then later, a trade paperback or paperback version is released.

For example, each copy of my books with “OUTLANDER” as the title has the same book within, the same words. It has been reissued multiple times since first released in 1991. Hardcover editions are generally sturdier, cost more, and are preferred by collectors. Regular paperbacks are much smaller in size than hardcovers and less expensive. Pick the edition you like the best! In my Outlander series, start with the first book, OUTLANDER.

If you have a tablet or computer, there are also digital editions of my books you can buy.

Foreign editions (those published outside the U.S.A.), especially those translated into other languages, may vary a lot in size and have different covers, which makes sense. My books have been translated into at least 23 different languages.

I am loving the TV series and want to get the first book only my local WHSmiths has the first book with 2 different covers, I would have assumed they were the same but one was rather thicker than the other! Help! Which should I get? Thanks in advance.

I read the Outlander series years ago. I was very excited to watch the series & for the most part have enjoyed it. Love the cast, costumes, scenery etc. Very put off unfortunately with so much violence & so graphic. Considering the demographics, I would prefer more romance & less whipping, stabbing… The scene where Randall whips Jaimie was played over & over again. I fast forward everytime as it makes me sick, literally. I understand that you want to be true to the story, however, it’s just too much. I will try to watch season 2, however, if the violence continues to be over the top, I fear I won’t be able to take it anymore. This would make me sad as I truly enjoy watching Sam as Jaimie.

Dear Ed–

Only in a very general sense. It isn’t a specific place.

Best,

Did you have an area in the NC mountains in mind for Fraser’s Ridge? Is Mueller’s Creek and Millers Creek the same place?

Just had to ask.

Dear Diana
I have rarely found a books series that has so totally captivated me. After seeing the first few episodes of The Outlander on television, I proceeded to acquire the book and realized it was not one but 8 books of 1140 plus pages!!!!! But how’s counting . I have found the stories so captivating I hardly slept I am truly exhausted after so many of long night turning into morning , reading those books, I could not put them down . The historic facts, medical trivia’s, the noble behaviors and personality of the characters the fantasy of the story . I was a truly an adventure and delight and I must Thank you . your writing was most enjoyable and look forward to process to your other books

Thank you so much for the response! I read on this website:

http://outlandishobservations.blogspot.no/2009/11/outlander-vs-cross-stitch-part-1.html

that some parts of Outlander was removed or changed in Cross Stitch amongst a sex-scene. I don’t know if this is the case. But if so, which one of these is the 2014-edition with the new cover?

Dear Julia–

Outlander and Cross Stitch are the same book; the UK published it under “Cross Stitch”, while the US and Canada called it “Outlander.” Now the UK is changing the title, because of the TV show, which is called OUTLANDER. Hope that helps!

Hi!
I simply love the tv-series and can’t hardly wait for the next episode in April. In the meantime I’m going to read the books. Is this cover for the book “Otlander” or “Cross Stitch”? And which one is the tv-series based on?
I apologize for my poor English.
Best regards Julia.
