more Hallmark editions

Stopped by my local Hallmark Gold Crown store today, and saw that they had two more books in their own editions… which (as far as I could quickly tell) really just vary from the standard editions with minor Hallmark markings.

(Oddly enough, while their cover price for Warm Puppy is higher than the standard edition, for CB Christmas it was actually lower, although still higher than the Amazon price.)

Me, I think I’ll forego being so completist that I get Warm Puppy… but I’m too interested in doing an all-editions display of CB Christmas at some point that I might just let myself waste AAUGH.com’s money on invest in that.
