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.

    The series that I have the most books of is hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy (5 books). I bought the first book to see if I like it, after that I got a cheap hitchhiker’s guide that had all 5 books in one giant book. I thought " hey thats great! Now i have a book that has it all and the other one I can lend to people!". After covid i thought that when I re-read I have the problem that if I want to read book 2-5 I have to always carry the giant version and I love to read on trains so I got one of those special version with the 5 single books in a case.

    And then I have 2 special versions because I just love a pretty cover!
