Excluding textbooks for classes, I bought this for ~$300 (several several years ago as a special treat)

Most of my collection is thrifted/bought from garage sales (for a quarter to a dollar usually) but I do have a handful of nicer ones.

Excluding textbooks and technical manuals.

$300 for an OED dictionary. $60 for an illustrated book of poetry as a gift.
