And, why do we do this to ourselves?

I have two copies of:

These are due to integration between my partner's books and my own.

These are because they are some of my favourite books and, except for No Logo, I have one hardcover and one softcover edition.

Watership Down (I have a hardback large print that is for display purposes only and then I have the copy that I have taken to the beach many times, it is one of my beach reads).
The Harry Potter Books. I have a set that I have reread many times and then a box set that that has a picture the runs across all the spines.
Many different sets of The Lord of The Rings with one additional copy of The Two Towers. I borrowed it from a friend in college and never returned it. I have kept it on the off chance I remember to give it back
The Stand, I have the Abridged and Unabridged versions. (Not sure if that counts)

If you are including Graphic Novels

I have the original V For Vendetta editions and a combined version that I got to let my kid read.
Same with The Dark Knight Returns and Electra Assassin.
