I can't stop buying CoN

I own one and a half sets of the old paperbacks (in the correct order) and a boxed set in German

I have 3 editions myself: The full-color edition with the original cover art, the "all-in-one" book with the full-color illustrations, and one from the 70's in the original publishing order.

Additionally, I have several books based on or about Narnia (including the Narnian Cookbook that's out of print now) and two dramatized audio editions (BBC and Focus on the Family).

I won't be getting any other editions. I can't imagine any other they can offer that would even interest me.

What I'm worried about are the toys and trinkets they'll be selling soon. If they offer Narnia-themed LEGO sets, I'm there.

I actually just began my collection today. I was in a used bookstore and found several of the old paperback ones. However, being a poor college student I could only afford to dig out 1.75 and buy Prince Caspian.
Guess my collection will start slowly.

Oh yeah, then today my mother says "I found this at a yard sale for a dollar and thought you might want it" and hands me the space trilogy, which I have never read but have been wanting to, combined into one book. I'm excited.

I just bought another copy of Horse and His Boy. I'm so addicted to this. I bought the 1970 Collier editions a few weeks ago. They're a little beat up, but at least they are correctly numbered! However I'm missing 1, 4, and 7 from those editions. Phooey. I'm on the look-out for them.
I also bought another Magician's Nephew a few months ago in the Chris Van Allsburg illustrated edition.

Borders bookstores often have a special week where you can buy a book and put it into a big bin and they then give the books to needy kids. I usually buy all the copies the have of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and throw them into the bin. I figure:

1. It helps kids
2. It introduces them to a Christ-figure
3. It makes them read LWW first in the series.

I found The Magician's Nephew in the correctly numbered 1970 edition.
Had to buy it, of course. I forget which ones I'm missing from that set.

I'm on my fourth copy/copies--each--for both TCoN and TLotR.

I don't collect them, but they do wear out. Now, my last TLotR was the deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition, so I expect it to last longer (my first couple of sets were paperbacks). I call this my "pulpit" LotR.

I've still got a couple of my first CoN, hardbound, from the sixties. I've heard something of a special, very high quality Narnia edition coming out before too long; I'll be looking for it.

I've worn through/given away enough copies of many of the major Lewis titles that I've lost count.

Forgot to post that I also just bought another copy of Mere Christianity, so that makes three that I own. I think I might give one away to a friend of a friend who I know likes to read Christian apologetics.
