I used this ( http://www.soemadison.wisc.edu/ccbc/
rowling/editions.htm 
) link to look on various editions when I started my collection, I 
liked that I could look on the first page of the various edition. I 
know MuggleNet.com has a list of (most of? all?) book covers.

I only collect the ones I can read though - and only the first book 
(money and space are sadly limited). And my collection is made by 
bullying my friends into buying the books when they go abroad and 
having a nice, close relationship with the guy in foreign 
languages-department at the University bookstore, I've found that 
making someone order books for me is often worth the few kroner more 
it'll cost, than try and find a good online bookstore in some of the 
hm, stranger countries...

Gosh! I want those!

forward to the new Ancient Greek edition.)
