    All the editions?

    I have a friend who's birthday is coming up, and I know that she collects all the editions of Pride and Prejudice that she can find since it's her favorite book.

    So, I'm hunting down as many different editions I can find. I'm not sure exactly which ones she has, but I figure if she already has it she will still enjoy it. I'm planning on spending a couple hundred to several in order to find as many that I can.

    Does anyone know of anywhere I can find any documentation on what different editions are currently available? Or if someone has an extremely rare edition that I might be interested in? I'm not as much of a literary person as she is, so I've never hunted down different editions. This is a new field for me...

    Any recommendations on different editions would be greatly appreciated, as well as a listing of editions released.

    Thank you in advance.
