COVER AND BINDING CHANGE
Only the first five of this series were issued in a lasting hardback binding. In spring of 1999, the first Trade paperbacks were published in order to compete head on with other trade paperback editions price-wise. For the first four, the original covers were totally redesigned; the inside copy remaining the same. The new covers are more dramatic and inter-generational than were the first ones. What all this means is that when the modest First Edition printings are sold out, no more will ever be available.

Arriving at the logging camp of Mr. McLean, he convinces the skeptical Scotsman to hire him to guard the prized timber -- though Freckles has no experience, no family, and just one hand.
