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.

    I have 8 copies of Dune, each of which is either of a different edition or a different printing order within a particular edition. There are several reasons why I have this many copies. First, this is obviously a book that I love. It’s probably my all-time favorite sci-fi novel. Second, I am a collector, so I try to look for different editions and printing orders of books, as some are more highly sought after, rarer, and more valuable than others. Third, it’s fun and beautiful to see how all the different covers and the book’s printing history have evolved over time. Below is a link to my 8 different copies of Dune if anyone is curious.
