The Yak Shack Forum

I've had an idea I'm not sure if it would work or not. But I got an American GOF at a collectables fair and I thought it might be nice to have the other Ameircan versions. I was wondering if anyone fancied swapping if they sent me an American one I would send a Brit one. I think it would have to be paperbacks, as postage on hardback would be a bit steep. Any of our dear American friends fancy a swap?

Can I also add that there are childrens and Adult additions of the books in the UK. I personally love the new artwork on the Adult ones ;D

(ps I lost an auction for one it was and SS but it had a different cover it was blue with a cloaked figure walking along, what was that one all about  ???)

Are you sure it was an American edition? Do you have the auction?

Its by Scholastic but I have never seen that cover before. I think I am going to regret letting it get away especially when you see how much it went for  :-[

Oh, I can get that one for you if you like. My sisters boyfriend works at Wal*Mart so I can get the whole set for about 25 dollars from him, well the first three books. I dont think OOTP has been released with the Special Edition cover yet :-\

Oh cool, are they all different then? Not sure I can afford the whole lot just yet though  :(

No worrys. They are all different. I can get you all the way up to POA. All three books have been released with Special Edtion Covers. You saw SS, that was Quirrl running into the Forres. COS has a red cover with the entrence to the Chanber of Secrets on it. Actually, I made a mistake. Only SS and COS are out. Sorry, thinking about the spanish editions :P . Here some pictures

Ow they are cool, I think I will have to get them when I have some money (I swear theres a blackhole in my purse ::) ). One of our Supermarkets is now run by Walmart its a shame they don't sell these additions :(

Would you like me to pick up two for you on my nest trip?

Um, maybe leave it for the time being. I'm trying to think about my money. I'ms till paying for SS and then that Marauders maps calling me, I will have to see how much money I have after that. How much are they usually?


Do I take it no one wants a Brit one then :-\

I do, but I much perfer the Hardback :-\

Aw thats a bummer, they are more expensive to start with and I really don't want to think about the postage.  :o

I wouldnt mind a PB because I mostly perfer to read a PB (yeah I know, I'm weird :P) But, I have nothing to give you in return :-\

I'm confused now, do you prefure hard back or paper back ???

Both

Hardback to collect

Paperback to read

 :P :P

See I am easily confused, it doesn't take much. So would you like a paper back Philosophers stone? If so we could do a swap, you get the SS and I'll get the PS and send them to each other. (So I wouldn't really be spending my own money that way lol I would be but i could pretend I wasn't lol). I don't plan to go shopping until the end of the week anyway, so you can think about it. Also if you do want one kids or Adult addition? The Adult addition is just the same but the artwork on the front is different.

I rather like the Child edtition because I really dont like the adult covers. I'll have to go shopping too so I'll let you know when I have it ok ;D

OKies then. The UK kids PS has a nice cover with the Hoggies express ;D

Philosophers stone had been perchased today ;D

What ??? ??? ???

I bought a Philosophers Stone book yesterday if you are still up for the swap.

Oh, sorry. I still havent gone to the store yet so I havent picked up yours yet. We should go this week. I'll let you know when.
