So I figure I'm not the only one who regularly occasionally finds herself mired in the dilemma of which edition of a book to buy. With a number of lovely sites like The Book Depository out there, we collectors have increasingly easier access (thank you free shipping worldwide) to the gorgeous editions available to our friends on the other side of the world.

I've even had difficulty letting it out of the house since. But then I'm the same way with my copies of Fangirl and Eleanor & Park . I want everyone in the world to read them, but I get just a bit twitchy while they're gone. Rainbow Rowell 's books tend to hit me where I live, whether that's the me that rode the bus tense and lonely in high school, the one that fell in love unexpectedly a...
