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.

I have a copy of the Codex Seraphinianus (not the original printing, but a facsimile edition that came out a decade or two ago). It’s as odd as it sounds.
