I don't really see the point of giving books different titles, but I guess the markerting departments know what they are doing.Jim Lesseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246641739909183223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477108146610451376.post-7954066256919114992009-11-06T20:26:31.733+10:302009-11-06T20:26:31.733+10:30"Down Under" is indeed the same book as ..."Down Under" is indeed the same book as "In A Sunburned Country". <br /><br />"In A Sunburned Country" is the American release name and "Down Under" is the worldwide release name.

From reading this article from the Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2001/sep/24/billbryson sounds like the same book published with another name. I must go investigate this.
