What Would You Do?: Buying Multiple Versions of Books

 

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

   In this series, what would you do? I will be asking questions in regard to your reading habits. First up: buying versions of books.

 Quite often it's hard to choose between softcover, hardcover, digital, or audio. But other times, some do not choose, they buy them all.

  I like to look for rare or foreign editions of books. Even though my Lucky Santagelo books by Jackie Collins are mainly hardcover, I could not resist a UK edition in softcover. I found it at a book fair last year. I loved the way it was presented with its red cover and flared logo. This also sometimes happens with re-released editions of books. The publisher will often change the covers of the book to fit in modern times. I remember this as a teenager reading Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys. I must have had two editions of all the books at one point because of their covers.

  It can be fun to have multiple copies of a book. Some new editions even have extra scenes or even leather-bound editions with gilded pages. Sometimes it's what is on the outside that does make me love a book.   

   Let me know in the comments below what you are reading.

   If you wish to donate to my publishing fund at Venmo. All donations are appreciated.

      Also please follow me on my social media platforms and enjoy shopping with me at eBay and Mercari.
