"I only have the paperbacks, hardback GoF and the HP calendar (on March as I
do not like the February picture). This is why I was considering buying the
audio books now they are half price. I may get my obsessive rating up yet!"
Oh dear. What's wrong with Feb?
Oh yeah... I have the paperbacks of the first three and the hardback of GoF.
So, I have to buy the first three only in hardback... then the paperback of
GoF, when that comes out. The deluxe hardback set looks nice too... hmmm.
I also have my eye on a full set of the books in German, as I'm picking up
my German again. WHSmiths has the first three, but it says they are US
editions (???), and they are quite expensive, whereas Amazon.de has the
original German publisher's versions and they seem a lot cheaper than these
'US' versions. Isn't this bizarre? Are they importing some sort of
US-imported German versions of the books into the UK or are these the same
books but ridiculously overpriced?
I'm thinking out loud now... sorry. Perhaps Dinah or someone will read this
and throw some light on my confusion.
