First Edition Prints

This weekend I passed through an estate sale and picked up a first American edition copy of The Silmarillion. I don't really know a lot about how the first edition collection stuff works, and this particular copy is in pretty rough shape and missing the dust jacket. Still, I thought it was pretty neat. I also have this old science fiction book by Olaf Stapledon that was a gift from a friend and some old chess pamphlets. I doubt any of it is worth anything.
If any one collects rare books and first editions it would be interesting to see what you have to say.

That is amazing. I have all of Stephen King's first eds ( getting rid of them over the last few months due to his very public political bullshite). I'm 55 now. I have collected almost every one since I was 16. I've moved dozens of times through the years but I've always kept them pristine. All of his major ones, including Dark Tower. Several signed. I feel like an idiot now.
But I'd give every one of them for that book. I much prefer a first Tolkien American edition to anything written by an author who hates my guts.

I have a hardback copy of Confederacy of Dunces printed from LSU printing press that may or may not be a first edition. I found it while strolling through the French Market playing tour guide for some out of towner friends. I think I grabbed it for around 6 dollars. CSB

Nice find. I have a first edition, first printing of Game of Thrones. If the old fart finishes the series before he dies, then that might end up being worth something on day.

What do you have left? I'd like to buy them. Seriously.
