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.
Sometimes i forget especially if its a book I’ve read and is packed away i forget if its a library book or mine sometimes I’ll be a hardcover if I’ve only got the soft cover or if i like the cover art better on a certain edition (I’ve bought two books used because i didn’t like the ver. That they were currently printing)
My mom likes to buy every copy of this one daily devotional type book for everyone she knows she gives them away I’ve been debating this with where the heart is but mostly cause i have a accident extra copy
I recently ordered two different editions from the library of wuthering heights one was a annotated ver. (With a translation on what the hell Joseph is saying and i swear if it doesn’t have a translation in normal editions for him its not worth it)
I want a different edition of alice cause one i got at the library explained different words that i thought was interesting versus my copy doesn’t
Im sure theres more plus collectors the thing i don’t get is multiple copies of the same edition and they just sit on your shelf
