I finally found something to save up for instead of the Season 3 boxed set: Barnes and Noble sent me an email about pre-ordering the standard version, but when I went to amazon, I found that they are offering a special edition of the original, which sounds really cool, especially considering that net proceeds go to charity. I'd read the synopses online, but I'm really looking forward to this edition on Dec. 4, since it's not only the expanded stories, but extra drawings and Dumbledore commentary as well. Anyone else interested in getting one?

AH. I am so mad. I got the same email from B&N, and I bought it right away because my membership was expiring that very day. Then I read somewhere about the special edition. *headdesk* Oh well. It's not like I have a hundred bucks anyway. I am still super excited for it! It's really cool that money goes to charity :]

I didn't know they were actually selling them. Wait, what tha, 100 dollars? Sheesh. Still, I think it's worth it. Now I just have to start saving up money again.

Oooo yeah I saw this a couple days ago. I never read the summaries a while back because I had a feeling they'd publish them. I'm really excited but I'm not gonna buy the special edition. I just want the stories, not the fancy stuff.

Hmm, good thing I came here, I was about to reserve a copy from B&N, but now, I'm buying from Amazon. I like all of the extra stuff

I'm excited about the special edition ~ what a cool idea, to make it look like the original, all set with silver and moonstones, add 'historical' commentary to fill out and deepen the story, etc... I really didn't expect amazon to publish it when they won it at auction. I was just glad someone got it who was willing to make it public. I should have known. So, December's not coming soon enough (but at least that'll give me time to save up). I really didn't honestly think we'd get new material this soon.

When someone actually getes their book and reads it, would they mind posting what they thought about it here? It will go get it if people think that it is good. If not, then I won't.
