I've already warned the kids that if I manage to score the 50th
Anniversary edition, they're still going to read the beat-up paperback set. I'd
rather keep beat-up reading copies around to become the ones that go to the
beach, or get left at the grandparents' for when we forget to bring a book, or
that permission is given to write in. I'm only giving up when pages go
completely missing -- and then I have to favour recycling, to make new books
from old rather than cut down trees for
them.
