do you collect special editions?

i feel like barnes & noble has REALLY stepped up their special edition game! there were so many lovely copies with decorated edges, including paperback books.

i never used to see those! and i would order hardcover editions with sprayed edges from the UK.

but now … WOAH there are SO many. these were just three examples, but they were all over the store.

how do you feel about special editions?
