I still have the original LotR, Sil and Hobbit paperbacks I bought in the 70's when I first read them (you can almost read most of it through several layers of tape holding the bindings together!), and I have hardbound and softbound editions of virtually all of Tolkien's corpus, but I don't consider them duplicates so much as...ummm...having different editions of the same material. I usually buy softcover editions to read and research and hardbound editions to look spiffy in my library.
