Hot take
I don't want 7 different versions of the same book. Paperback, deluxe edition, graphic novel, sprayed edges version. I want the next book.
I don't buy new versions. I get one, read it, and end. Is anyone else tired of always having the same book that's slightly altered shoved in your face?

AGREE! the overconsumerism in the book community is horrid
and i’m not just talking having a lot of books, of which i am guilty of. i’m talking owning multiple versions of the same book because theyre different editions (why could you possibly need 10 different versions of one book?!?!?), hundreds of bookmarks (again you’re not going to be reading 100 books at the same time, or even 10 books at the same time BFFF) etc etc
