Yes, I have plenty! I have two copies of Persuasion by Jane Austen, because I put in an order for it online, but couldn't help myself at an op shop when I saw a hardback copy with gorgeous fuchsia and black paper stuck on the front. I also have two copoies of Mansfield Park and Euipedes' Medea and other play. Oh and a Saint-Exupery book too, the name of which escapes me now -- two different beautiful Penguin covers. I'm sure I have others, I can't help myself.

The works of Dickens – I have copies that were printed in the USA, then purchased early versions while in London several years ago.

LT says we have 88 work multiples, though I know some of those are actually different volumes of the same work. And it doesn’t include the bibles we own, but I am having problems searching my catalogue, so I can’t tell you how many bibles we have. 6 or 7, maybe?

This is what happens when two readers, both who can’t get rid of books, get married.

Hey, Jen -

That seems to be a theme this week – having copies of a given title in several languages. Mine was English/Spanish versions of an Isabel Allende novel.

I also studied French for 5 years and then haven’t used it since I went to France in college. Sigh. We read some great stuff in French, though.

We actually have a couple other Bibles as well, although no family Bible, but they don’t show up as work multiples.

Our family has multiple bibles too (not all the same version), one is a family bible (past generations have used it and recorded births/deaths), I’ve got two women’s bibles, my husband has a devotional bible, then we have a few NIV versions and some others.
