I suggest getting the paperback UK versions with adult covers. They are
extremely well-bound and hold up to many repeated readings.  There are a few
differences, mostly having to do with differences in the language, such as
using jumper for sweater. There are also a couple of nice little jokes that
don't work in the American edition.

The good news is that you don't have to go to England to get them. I ordered
mine from Amazon.co.uk at a very reasonable price, even including shipping.
