[quote=""Misfit""]The covers are beautiful, I hope they don't change for the US releases.[/quote]
Unfortunately, they probably will. As far as I know, the UK and US releases are separate ventures, with different covers.

Well I'm not from the UK, but I moseyed over to .uk and clicked on Jean Plaidy, here's what I got. They get such cool covers I'm jealous. I don't know enough about Plaidy's books to put them into series order, although I might try and post the covers here. Later, I really must get back to work right now

Funnily enough, I don't think this is quite the full picture. I saw on Amazon UK that they will publish the Lucrezia Borgia series soon but I can't find those books on the publisher's list. Shocking how so many publishers are unable to keep their own websites up to date with their releases.

[quote=""Ariadne""]The Lucrezia Borgia series should be out next June, along with Defenders of the Faith. Most publishers aren't listing next summer's titles on their websites yet - it's still a long way away
I expect they're on Amazon now because publishers have to obtain ISBNs for new titles far in advance.[/quote]
Fair enough. I just assumed that Amazon's information can only come from the publishers, so it seems a shame that the publishers can't provide this information on their own websites. Anyway, I've generally learned not to place too much reliance on publishers' websites...
