What’s the rarest/weirdest book you own?
(lemmy.world)
I have volume 1 of Kim Il Sung’s works in English - printed in North Korea in the 70’s. I don’t know if the Foreign Languages Publishing House survived long enough for a Volume 2. They did put out some of Jong’s thoughts on film, if I recall correctly.
This is probably the prize of my collection. I have a first American printing of Lolita, which unfortunately has a bit of cat vomit stain on it or might be in that spot.
Nice. Similarly, I own a 1971 East German translation of Stanisław Lem's Eden. It's one of my favorite books anyhow so I'm unlikely to ever let go of it.
