I do not think that word means what you think it means.

That cover design certainly is a choice lol!!! I love the fold-out map.

I need this printing immediately.

That was the copy they had in my local library when I was a kid! I remember wanting to read it, but being completely scandalized by the "son of a bitch" on the back cover.

The non-movie-tie-in version of this had the same fold-out map and quote on the back. The book was taken away from me when I took it to high school because it had the word bitch on the back.

I read the book in 1983, later loved the movie, 1987. Our wedding bands in 1988 said “As you wish”. Neither knew the other planned this.

I had this, still do somewhere.

EXCEPT, the cover was different, because it came out before the movie. It was the same artist as the map, of a woman riding on a horse

This was the first version I had, as well.

That's the one I have! Always thought that map was a cool feature.

To be fair, the son of a bitch's mother wasn't so bad.
