I have three.

For careful reading in my room. It does not leave the room. It does not get within 3 feet of a glass of liquid, or 2 feet of anything that is meant to be eaten. It is placed back on the shelf after every use.

Copy #2(Sofcover)
To be read on the road. Or outside my room. Or in my room, but with food/drink involved. It's the thoroughly abused copy.

Copy #3(Hardcover)
Due to the limited nature of the hardcover, I can't be assured that I could obtain another one if something were to happen to Copy #1. Copy #3 is disaster protection, an insurance against Copy #1 getting damaged or destroyed.

Also, it seemed like the best thing to grab during the 50% off Wallace and Gromit sale.

Mr. Dashing, you and I think alike.

Copy #1: Hardcover: The first one I ever read
Copy #2: Hardcover: Opened so I could see the signature, not used otherwise
Copy #3: Softcover: Read ALL THE TIME

Rather Dashing, I like your thinking but I'm less patient than you.

I only have the hardcover one. I have been thinking of getting a paperback version so I can read it while eating. Reading without eating at the same time is just not the same.

The Highway · 03/29/2010, 05:24 am

But then you get food all over the paperback! Scan it, and read a pdf while eating! Telltale should make this available on the iBookstore!

But then I'd put crumbs in my keyboard! or one my ebook reader which would be worse than damaging just one book, since it holds a thousand of them!

Ha. At first I misread that as "reading without eating it at the same time..." XD

I just have one copy; a hardcover from Telltale. I've had it since last July and have already had a lot of use out of it, but I've been careful with it and when I'm not reading it I make sure it's safely put away on its shelf. Though compared to the number of copies some people have I feel like I'm taking a risk!

Joop · 03/29/2010, 12:01 pm

I think you're all overprotective.
Think about all the poor people who are crying because they were saving for the hardcover and haven't got one now.

Avistew · 03/29/2010, 12:09 pm

I hear what you're saying, Joop, but they did buy their copies and they did pay for them. There is absolutely no rule that you're only allowed one copy each, if they want two good for them.

Scrawffler · 03/29/2010, 01:51 pm

Ah well, that makes me feel better about only owning one copy!

I expect some people would have bought extra copies to sell on eBay at ridiculously high prices too. At least that will give some of those who missed out on them at the Telltale store to get one. (the richer people anyway)

Actually, I prefer the I-bought-five-copy's-out-of-overprotectiveness-people to the I-bought-five-copy's-to-sell-at-rediculously-high-prices-on-E-bay-people.

By the way, I'm totally selling my second hardcover.

Bidding starts at ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Did you remember the last time somebody tried to sell a hardcover in one million dollars?

I'm still wondering what is a traveler cheque!

Yes I do.

It was me.

I'm nothing if not persistent.

At least learn the lesson and start the bidding with 1 Million AMERICAN Dollars!

I'm an American. I don't learn lessons.

I agree. In fact, I chose to only get a paperback so the hardcover could go to someone who wants it more than me. But I'm crazy that way.

Haven't you tried to sell this copy twice or thrice for a million dollars now?
