These books will be read together as a class. I think it's important for each student to have a copy of the book in their hands so we can truly be reading together. I also like for students to be able to annotate the text with their thoughts and questions (using sticky notes...so these books can be used year after year!). Photocopies of a book just don't have the same magic as a physical book. I don't think you can fall in love with reading without turning the pages of actual books. And who doesn't love the way books smell? (Or is that just me?!)
