Can we turn this into a rare book thread?My rare books are Stephen King's school shooter novel Rage that he asked his publisher to kill, Rona Jaffe's Mazes & Monsters(in both paperback & hardcover: the book that spawned the Tom Hanks movie where a D&D nerd disassociates from life and stabs someone while larping, a major catalyst in the Satanic Panic surrounding D&D) and first edition boxed D&D manuals from the 70's. I wonder what that says about me & my personality(these are all used book-hunting IRL, I was not alive for any of their publishing despite this being a boomer website)
I own the two collected volumes of Aristotle (and plan on getting the one for Plato soon enough). I own (and have read all of) Fanged Noumena, the book by now infamous NrX type Nick Land. I also have lots of old editions of books I've picked up over the years. Some 1950s hardbacks of Mobey Dick and Alice in Wonderland. A couple late 19th century reprints of some classics and the curio piece I think many would find funny here, a hardback of the Jungle Book which has a printed swastika in the first couple pages (this written pre-Nazi, mind you).
