However, I do own multiple copies of the same book . . . . Harry Potter, of course, and I would definitely buy more of different versions or anniversary editions. Another book that I have multiple copies of is Wicked . . . one of the original cover art that also happens to be Tif Sweeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015299390676538748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135958.post-75674949335975883552009-07-12T19:59:21.956-06:002009-07-12T19:59:21.956-06:00I'm not sure if I would buy it again or not......I'm not sure if I would buy it again or not...I guess it would depend on how I felt at the time.

However, I purchased a few copies at thrift stores. That's just the way I do it. Actually, it's kind of weird now.
