Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,
I have been known to own hardcover, digital, audio, and softcover at the same time. This was what happened with Lost Stars by Claudia Gray. I did not want to carry the book, so I bought the audio. Then I realized that I should have a physical copy, as well. I bought the digital. Then a friend of mine had it in her bookstore, and I bought the hardcover. I managed to read Lost Stars using three different forms of this novel.
Other times I like to look for rare or foreign editions of books. Even though my Lucky Santangelo books by Jackie Collins are mainly hardcover, I could not resist a UK edition in softcover. I found it at a book fair. 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.
