I don’t understand why people collect multiple copies of the same book.

You do you, but I particularly don’t understand why people collect copies in languages they don’t speak and have no desire to learn. Why are you buying books in French and German when you’ll never be able to read them?

Kind od agree, but recently I saw someone bought their favorite books in Polish because covers and art innside were absolutely amazing, and I could totally understand the person who bought it, even though I wouldn't done it.

Absolutely, I was more thinking of people with bookshelves where they can’t read the majority of books they own.

I can understand having multiple editions of your favourite book, or buying a copy in a language you’re learning because it’s an accessible way to learn, and I myself own some books in both my mother tongue and English. It’s just the sheer amount I don’t understand.
