Enjoy your books– read sporadically thought the different series but was a full-time English teacher and had little spare time for pleasure reading. Now that I am retired I plan to start at the beginning of Sharpe’s stories and read in chono order–not published order– My question–and I admit I have not devoted a a large amount of time on self-investigation–I have viewed several of the links to get an order of where I should start my reading–the book covers for UK books seem much more dynamic, eye-catching, and basically better, than the ones from US publishing–I understand writers have little control once you pass the book to the publisher—and your books sell well because of what is inside not outside–but, from personal perspective, I prefer the UK covers posted on your site to the US one almost every time…does your US publisher ever discuss the differences in UK art? Just a thought…got to get to the bookstore and look for some books. Vicki Cornelius
