Kell Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I spotted these in Waterstones last weekend and thought it a fascinating idea. The only problem is that in many cases, people may well already have one book and so not buy the pair just for the other one. It would be so much better if you could mix and match! Of course, if you didn't have either book and fancied one, you'd probably read the other too, rather than "waste" it... Actually, these might be an idea for the comparative reading circle... Quote
Liz Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I spotted these the other week. They had them on offer - three packs for the price of two. I took home Vintage Monsters, Crime and Sin. I think it's a nice idea to read and compare a pack of Twins - one modern and the other an older classic. Quote
Guest ii Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I think it's a nice idea to read and compare a pack of Twins - one modern and the other an older classic. Some time ago I was receiving a newsletter that always introduced two "books of month". One old school, one more modern. They always had a common theme, like "difficult family relationships" or "lonely people" and so on. Quote

I thought that too Kell, I bought 'Vintage Sin' and I already have 'Inferno' by Dante Alighieri but I really wanted to read 'Sabbath's Theater' by Philip Roth. I also have Vintage Fantasy because I wanted to read ' The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles' by Haruki Murakami and I have never read ' Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking glass' by Lewis Carroll. I rambled on there, but basically I like a bargain. Quote
