All of the hardcover books--bought in sets of three, very excitedly, except for the thirteenth (obviously.) I got the first two for Chrismas and birthday respectively and after that I would save my money for weeks, and buy them myself. Also TBL and LS:UA.
Nothing else, though... sadly. I would love to get TBB:RE.

I started with BB when I was eleven, and then bought them in sets of three at my school's book fair up to CC. I got SS at a book store at our vacation place in Michigan, and then I had to wait a while since GG hadn't come out yet. I ended up buying GG at Krogers when I was shopping. I saw it on the shelfs, not knowing it was out and got so excited I think I teared up. A while later I was sitting in my 7th grade english class and saw a girl reading PP. I freaked out, not knowing it had come out and went and bought it right after school. By the time The End was due to be released I was older and smarter about buying books, so I pre ordered it and read it the day it came out.  I now own hard back versions of my paperback copies from the book fair, and I also have TUA and Bitter Truths. |

I own the thirteen books as The Complete Wreck (I just love that name) but I have two copies of TSS, one of which is signed. TUA and TBL, and the first three books in paperback. Also have the Egmont leather bound edition of TBB, and a signed copy of the The Ominous Omnibus. I have books 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 in audio book form. And a copy of The Tragic Treasury that I listen to about twenty times a day. I have ordered the 8 Ball from an online store, and am currently jumping up and down waiting for it to arrive by post. On the not-exactly-ASoUE front - but still written by the same distressed author - I have TCID, as well as TLOC and The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming - I've never seen that abbreviated; TLWCSS, I suppose. I also have Horseradish; sort of ASoUE - because of where many of the quotes come from - but not strictly.
With all due respect.

All of my aSoUE books have two shelves to themselves. And it's still rather cramped.

Me I have the complete ASoUE collection, plus the Unathorized Authobiography. Due to lack of shelves or storage space in my room, they're stacked. It's annoying if I want to read or check out something in the books of the bottom of the pile. I need shelves! T-T lol

I just own eleven books, i never get the rest of them  TBB: I bought it in online bookstores, along with TEE, THH, TCC, TSS, and TGG. I had spend my savings, which are few in number, in order to collect it.  TRR: My sister gave me this book as my 14th birthday gift. TVV: The first ASOUE book I read, and the first novel i've ever had. I bought it from a book sale. I was unnerved with the cover illustration, and i thought it will be a new experience for me to collect more novel like that. TPP and TE: I bought it from grand bookstore. My sister bought me TPP when i had owned it. so, i gived it to my friend, who was adore the ASOUE books, as birthday gift. |

Might as well add mine......
TVV- Was the first book I ever read, borrowed from my local library, I read it when I was eight and I loved it.
TBB- I first read it borrowed from a friend when I was eight. I thought it was odd, and decided not to bother with the series. However a few months later I decided I really wanted to read all of them (by then all the books were out). I saved up my £1 pocket money at that time, and then begged my Dad to buy the whole series off ebay. It was £20 I think. They came a few weeks later in a big cardboard box, I remember they were so dusty- like they'd been sitting inside someones attic for a long time. On the inside of the earlier book there was writing on the Ex Libris page (Hannah Megan Gray) judging by the writing, I'd say she was 10-11 years old at the time. However it suggests she didn't read all the books, because the later books had no writing on the name plate. I rubbed out her name in pencil, but some were in pen, so I just scored hers out. The first thing I did was write my name inside them. They're all UK edition.
TAA: Hannah Megan Gray has drawn a little arrow pointing to Ghengis with the caption "Bad Guy."
TEE- Hannah Megan Gray captioned Gunther as "Olaf Again." (Both were in Pen unfortunately.
TPP- On the inside cover I've written which page the seabald code is on.
TBL and TUA: I bought these from Amazon when I was twelve. TUA came earlier than expected...must've been Very Fast Delivery. Oh and my copy of TUA has pink underlines on the page where Lemony is writing title ideas for ASOUE.
Horseradish- I saw this in Poundland a few years ago, and siezed it. I spent the rest of the evening reading the quotes to my parents.

TBB-THH were originally my sister's. She let me borrow them (against my will) but I ended up having the first three books on audiotape. Consequently, my mum bought the rest on tape for me as well. TCC-TE were Christmas presents from my sister. I own all of them now, and have actually physically read them many times. But I still listen to the tapes as guides.

I have all of the books...twice! The temptation to one-up this is overwhelming, but I shall resist, while failing to resist in highlighting my resistance. I wonder how many of us own all the books multiple times over? Not many, I'd guess. |

I own TBB three times, TRR twice, TWW thrice, and TSS and TE twice. For most I have good reasons (new material, original falling apart), but the third TWW was just for the duskjacket, so that's not entirely true.
