Informative book on radiation. Written, published, and sent to nervous shareholders in the wake of tjernobyl.

I wouldn’t call it “rare” I don’t think but it’s definitely the book I own with the smallest circulation for obvious reasons.
I literally only bought it because of /lit/ memes

I have a first edition library print of the hobbit.

Not really worth anything though, it's been rebound at least one, and still isn't in great shape.

>>15099304
I have this 1980’s print of the Silmarillion that my dad bought in high school. It’s oxidized and missing 3 pages I lost when reading it. I’m guessing it’s rare because the binding is terrible and most people have probably binned their copies, but I’ve held onto it because I find the cover art nostalgic and comfy.

>>15099304

I have a number of first edition signed books by Dreiser, Kipling, Bradbury, and some others.

The Egg by Michael Gira. He only printed 2500 copies

>>15099304
Not really rare, but I picked up a now 93 year old Poe collection from some old lady's shop when I was in my teens. Held together well and is still totally readable.

>>15099304
>Rarest books
I just download and print (or loan amd scan) all books I want lol
No such a thing as a rare book, imagine unironically fetishising something that is only rare due to artificial scarcity.

>>15099876
I know this for a fact because it says so in the back of the volume that they only printed 500 of it.

doubt they are very rare, but they are old ... they were in my bedroom at my grandmother's house growing up ... supposedly left there by my uncle before he died ... cause it was his bedroom before mine

A tiny paperback copy of Hecate and Her Dogs from Pushkin. It’s OoP and for some reason selling online for 800$

Imagine pretending not to understand the fun of collecting rare items just so you can feign superiority about not being fun. What's even the point in a delusion that fragile?

>>15099304

also a few old editions of codex seraphinianus. pic related isn't mine but i've got that same edition
