This is a bit off-topic but...

When I was little I was reading these as they came out (in the UK) and one day I was in this odd little independant bookshop and came across a US version of one of the books that we hadn't got to yet. I was ridiculously excited - turned out it had a printing error, a bunch of pages were in the wrong order, so I suppose it'd got sold off cheap somehow.

Anyway, It was the wrong color and the logo was wrong and it was even the wrong size; is was a crazy alien artifact to my little brain and it was practically FROM THE FUTURE OMG! *cough*

When the UK edition came out I bought it (gotta have a matching set, obvs) and was totally amazed to discover that it had been Brit-picked. I went through both books and underlined all the changes (Milk Duds = Malteasers, is the ony one I remember still - which I have only lately discovered is completely false) and basically it was my first experience of the 'divided by a common language thing'.

I had that happen with Bunnicula by James and Deborah Howe - got the US version from the library, and it was full of evocative and mysterious American candy names like sour balls (I don't think they even registered for me as a normally edible foodstuff; I think I thought of them as some sort of tennis balls IDEK WTF 8-YEAR-OLD ME), and unfamiliar TV shows. That was part of its charm!

Then I bought my own UK copy and was AFFRONTED to discover that they'd Britiffied it.
