"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" become "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the US.

Perhaps they thought Americans would't know what a Philosopher's stone was.

Omnibus editions also do this - they pull together 2 or 3 books and give it a new overall title and if you aren't careful, you are rebuying books you already own.

For example, "Cordelia's Honor" by Lois McMaster Bujold is really two other books, "Shards of Honor" and "Barrayar" just pulled together into one book.
