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 don’t, generally.

    The only times I have two copies of the same book is if I’m gifted something I already have, or lost a copy/bought a copy/found a copy.

    I do have two different translations of a very small number of books: War and Peace, Beowulf, Canterbury tales. And I guess I have a complete Shakespeare (gifted, a display copy but not nice to read out of) and also individual copies of some of the plays with notes and annotations
