The reason I'm asking is because all 3 of these books came out recently. They are all by Terri Irwin. Can they release the same book under different titles? I don't want to end up buying the same book 3 times.


The one they are selling in the states is called "Steve & Me".

The one that is being sold in Australia is called "My Steve".

And this one is being sold in the U.K. It has the cover photo from the Australian one, and the title of the American one.

Yes, movies and books sometimes have different names in different countries. Don't know if those are all the same tho.

looks like they may be the same. Some times titles may sell differently in different countries. I could only find Steve and ME on Amazon. I was going to try to compare the summeries of the 2 books and see if they were the same.

You gonna get me some autographs when your there? :hug <=You do know this hug could turn into a choke hold don't ya?:whistle

Hope y'all have a great time. :dancing:

Thanks everyone for your help. I ordered one from a seller on ebay from Australia. It ended up costing me about what a copy here in the US would cost. So when I get it in, I will let y'all know if it's just like the American version for sure. :)

That is so awesome! I think Terri said it's a 12 hour flight in one of her interviews. I remember seeing a interview with Steve where he was talking about how he hated that long flight. He said sitting for one movie is ok, but sitting for 5 is a different story. :)

I hope the trip turns out to be better than you could have ever expected for your whole family. :dancing:

I never have gotten around to selling that high dollar camera on eBay yet that we got in on that last load. Are you looking for a kick ass camera for about half the retail? This was a store display. And from the looks of it, it must have been kept in a glass case, because most of the displays have scuffs on them. But this one looks just like it came straight out of the box. They probably kept it in a case because it's such a expensive camera instead of leaving it out for people to handle at Sears. They postponed daddy's surgery until this week. So that's why I haven't listed it yet. I'm planning on listing it next week though. So if your interested just pm me about it. :)
