Does anyone know if Jancee Dunn's But Enough About Me : How the Girl Next Door Got Behind the Velvet Rope Using Shamelss Flattery, Fake Laughter, and a Few Other Tricks and her But Enough About Me: How a Small-Town Girl Went from the Shag Carpet to the Red Carpet are the same book? |

That's kind of odd. bn.com does list both of them, the synopsis is exactly the same, with a year in between release dates. Maybe it just wasn't selling, so the publisher re-titled and re-released it? I've had that happen to me. Get a book because I love the author, and come to find out I already own it. Jody |

Well, you could then ask, if those are the same as this one: But Enough About Me: A Jersey Girl's Unlikely Adventures Among the Absurdly Famous

See if the author has a website. |

They are all the same book. I speak with some authority (ha) because I just received this book and all versions were on my WL for awhile. I too wondered why different versions had different titles - but I guess sometimes that just happens. I know in other instances, if a book is released in another country the title is changed or altered (but I don't think that was the case here). Lisa |

There are also cases where the exact same book has U.K. vs. U.S. titles. |

I think this situation would be a great use for tags. Publishers have done this fairly often and then there is the different country, different name issue too. |

I went to the author's website, and it looks as though all versions of the subtitles (I found seven) to But Enough About Me refer to the same book.

I would be so totally PO'd if I had bought one of these versions, then thinking I was getting a different book ordered one of the others only to find it be the same thing. That is just totally wrong and stupid! |

I agree, Sherry. I'm going to remove both of them from my wishlist because I have already read that book! I thought she had written two new ones. Thanks to all who answered this question. By the way, it's a pretty funny book and worth the read. |
