Count reprints, later editions of the same book, etc. If you have a copy that includes multiple books in one volume, you can count that, but do not count sequels/etc on their own. You can count ebooks and audiobooks if you possess the files in a permanent way (borrowed and streamed don't count).

We ask your questions anonymously so you don’t have to! Submissions are open on the 1st and 15th of the month.
#i think in general i have one copy of every book#but most of the books i get are thrifted which means sometimes i forget what i have#so i have been known to accidentally buy two copies of the same book ans gift it to a friend
