So I did a little looking today. To order from Amazon.ca (the canadian amazon) I can get all the HP books. These will be the real versions not the messed up american ones. Here’s the thing. I own the first four in the American Trade Paperback edition. So should I just forget that and go with my principals?
Here’s the cost I’m looking at.
I can just buy number 5 in hardback from them for about 26 CDN. Plus shipping and handeling.
I can buy the first four in paperback and number five in hardback for a mismatched set and a total of 78 CDN including s/h which would be roughly 50 something american bucks.
I can buy all five in hard back so they will be pretty and match (yes I like matching sets, I know I’m a freak. Leave me alone!) for 102 CDN which is about 75 American bucks. Yes that also includes s/h.
Or I can just buy the hardback american and have a mismatched set for 17 or I can wait till it comes out next year in trade paperback for a little less and have a matched set. And just give up my principals and forgo the anger at dumbing down of america.
What do you guys think?

Another option – try to get it from the library to read and then buy the book later when you can figure out a more matching set? Oh, wait … you’re not even at that book yet so you wouldn’t be reading it right away, correct? I say wait and then decide – they won’t go out of print anytime soon. š

Um … no no no! But later you could probably get the propper English ones from Canada in paperback, right? I’m not saying you should get paperback or not – but if you wait you will have more options and can still get the entire collection in one match set then, right? Maybe you could find some book in a library now (if you got around to part 5) that was of the original English print?

Well I’ve only read two and they were the american ones. I’m just in such a foul mood I don’t know if I want to read the other americans ones. I just don’t know what to do. HEHE
