If 2 copies of the same book are really different (if a book has 2 different
translators, like The Golden Ass by Apuleius, or it's been updated, like Night
by Elie Wiesel), then yes, having the different copies is great. If the only
difference is that one copy is hardbound and the other is paperback, then I
vote for deleting the copy with the lower rating.
My 2 cents, Carrie

True. Are the two books different editions, whic, as
you pint out, can involve revisions of or additions to
text, like forwards and things, or are they different
only in format, and if so, is it desirable to have
different copies of the same book in the collection?
Even LP books don't seem to scan differently except to
cause scanning problems (I've noted when validating
them), and people with poor vision can magnify on
their computers.
Just curious.
