What’s your reasoning for having different editions of the same book/series?

Why do you choose one book/series over the other books you have?

How much are you willing to spend on editions?

I’ve recently watched a lot of tik toks of people showing their different editions of their favorite books/series and I got curious.

    I collect Gollancz SF Masterworks so I have some overlap with my old 1970s and 1980s paperbacks ftom my childhood.

    I use the Masterworks editions as reading copies.

    I have the NEL edition with the Tim White cover of thr Arthur C. Clarke short fiction collection that I bought in high school. I also have all of the stories in the (near) complete The Collectrd Stories of Arthur C. Clarke collection. Recently I picked up another edition of Expedition to Earth because it had detsil from Robert McCall’s movie poster art for 2001: A Space Odyssey on the cover, was in really good condition and only cost me 5 bucks.
