Where do you buy your DW books and at what price?

I buy them in hardback because I just can't wait. Then when the paperback comes out, I buy it because they're easier to handle. Then I look for second hand copies to lend people. I usually also try to get the UK/Canadian edition as well as the US edition because sometimes there are subtle differences. Sometimes there are not so subtle differences (The Truth had some serious differences - one missing line changed a character, and one misplaced comma changed a different one).
Sorry to necro this thread... 
Let's see, there are about 4 or 5 different editions of various Discworld editions on my bookshelf atm. Most of them are the paperbacks with the cover art from Josh Kirby. Some of the later ones ar large hardcovers published by Doubleday.
But most recently I've started buying the whole series again, this time in the amazingly beautiful (imo), utterly droolworthy editions from pubisher Gollancz. Not all books are released yet, I believe they release 1 or 2 each month, so that's good enough to keep up with. They're 10 pounds when first released, dropping to 7 or 8 after a month or two. I get them at Waterstones. I've got 19 of them so far. So they're slowly becoming the lead version on the shelf ^_^
