Up first are the Hardcover books, and these are the ones I treasure most because they're the ones that I grew up with, the ones that I read and re-read all through grade school and made me fall in love with all things Beverly Cleary!! Through Rummage Sales and Ebay, I've managed to get my hands on just about every book edition I loved as a kid, though there are some (like "Socks") that I only have in later paperbacks.
Next are the Dell Yearling Paperbacks that came out in the 80's that I remember my little sister bringing home from the library, at the time, the covers looked so strange and modern, now when I look at them I get the same feelings of nostalgia as the original Louis Darling/Alan Tiegreen/ etc covers!
Then we've got the miscellaneous paperbacks and books (including the VERY interesting Beverly Cleary autobiographies where you found that so much stuff in her books happened to her in real life!(My Own Two Feet, for instance, is almost a dead-on same story as "The Luckiest Girl", they are THAT similar!) , and finally, some fun audio books-you haven't heard the Ramona story til you've herd it read by Stockard "Rizzo" Channing and Henry Huggins read by Neal Patrick "Doogie Howser" Harris!
