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 found a book non ironically titled "psychopathology of the deeply retarded". And it's not about Reddit users! It's a 70s academic text for professionals dealing with mentally deficient children 💀
Sounds like a photo of the cover would be an excellent image macro or a retort in a comment thread.
Yes that was my thought too! Sadly it is in french ("psychopathologie des débiles profonds") so not usable everywhere
