I wasn't able to pack them when we moved, as I flew ahead with my little sister while my parents finished sorting some things at home which included sending out all the packages with our stuff. Out of literally every single thing I own, all I asked was that my warriors books were sent to me. In the end not a single one made it to me, and they were all probably thrown out by my dad. I'm still really salty about it. Now I'm somehow going to have to track down the books in their original covers and repurchase the entire series, which will a)cost way more than shipping my original ones would have, and b)be absolutely impossible to do here as I've very vERY rarely seen warriors sold here, and by the off chance that they are I don't really want them because the uk covers are really ugly. They just took the original and wierdly cropped and zoomed in on the images? Idk they just really throw me off. Actually looking at it now I have no idea how to get a hold of the originals. I'm going to stop here now bc this rants gotten too long.
I'm in the UK, and getting most of the original covers wasn't particularly difficult or expensive! It's a giant shame that your whole collection was thrown out; that really sucks on your family's part, but hopefully it won't be too hard to replace them if you wanted to. The hardest for me was the POT set; they're not readily available but go up for sale intermittently as a box set with og covers. The best way to find the originals is to use goodreads to find the specific ISBN for the original covers (as different printings have different ISBNs), and then search up those specifically on sites like world of books. For example the ISBN for specifically the 1-6 box set of power of three with original covers is 0060892013. Feel free to PM me if you have any trouble finding any of the others!!
