i don't buy any of the books hardcover, because it would throw off the whole look of my collection :]

I saw a hardbound copy of this at a Goodwill today. Anyone have the hardbound kind? I didn't get it because I already have a copy, but it made it look very official. I would like a hardcover copy because it's a book that goes through a lot of wear and tear.

I don't buy any of the BSC books hardcover, either because it would annoy me since the rest would be softcover.

That's what I was thinking, Greer. This kind of looked like a teeny tiny textbook with the hardcover. I can see where it would be nicer for someone who actually used the book. I've barely glanced at mine since I bought it.

I still think I have my original copy of this book! Anyway, there are a few things that bother me, mostly involving the map at the back of the book. I like that they have but, but someone who is a stickler for geography like me, it ALWAYS bothered me.
For one, why is Kendallwood Farms - the farm that Mallory goes to in Dream Horse -- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY? It's basically one of the first things I see. Wasn't it supposed to be on the outskirts? That doesn't look very outskirtish to me.
Henrietta Hayes lives really close to Mallory, only a few blocks away, actually. But in #1 Fan, they make it seem like she was off the map...literally! Didn't Mallory have to take cabs because it was too far to ride her bike at night and too far for her parents to leisurely pick her up and driver her home?
Karen's backdoor basically faces Natalie Springer's house? I didn't know that, and I've read mostly all of the LS books.
If you look at all of the services and industry, it looks too much compared to the number of houses and families there are. How could they sustain it?
I understand that this map is mostly for visual sake, and we can't be so critical of it, but these things still bother me, haha. I would have LOVED to have a better map or more visuals in it... like pictures that we didn't see anywhere else.

The picture on the cover is one of my favourite pictures of the entire series. I think each girl looks really great on the cover, and it shows off their unique styles and personalities.

I would like a hardcover copy because it's a book that goes through a lot of wear and tear. Oh God, yes. My CG's a mess, but I can't chuck it and get a new one because I had it personally signed by Ann back in 2004....

I loved this book.
Since I'm ordering all the books again so I can have the whole collection, I will be ordering this book as well in due time!

^ this is a great book too! Except I wouldn't believe the map much in the back, some places are off. I think kristy's neighborhood is pretty accurate though.

Hi Greer , on the back flap of the CG that opens up into the map of Stoneybrook, it asks, "Have You Read All These Books in the BSC Series?" The last titles mentioned are (I hope this helps #100 Kristy's Worst Idea SS13, Aloha, Baby-sitters! M25 Kristy and the Middle School Vandal SM2 Baby-sitters Beware All Three Reader's Requests are shown, both Logan books and the one from Shannon Abby is the only missing portrait
