Germanic++;
It's that time of year again: Melissa gets her summer paychecks and orders foreign Harry Potter books.
I made it an explicit goal to collect at least one of each Germanic-language edition. I already had Dutch (duh), Afrikaans, and German. I just ordered Saxon, Swedish, and Faroese (hi Taelor). This leaves one more set of three: Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. I can't find Icelandic for less than $100 so that will probably have to wait to be the capstone of the collection.
Sadly, I don't think there will ever be a Frisian edition... or any of the other spoken-in-about-the-size-of-Bedford-County languages and dialects.
EDIT:
There are 60,000 speakers of Faroese in the world.
There are 73,000 citizens of the city of Lynchburg.
Talk about a rare and unique book...
