1885 1st Edition, 1st Print of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Worth about $40K in mint condition.

My copy is not.

First edition was actually printed in 1884.

Mint or not, that's an incredibly cool book.

Heck, Harry Potter first edition is worth 10K.

There was a nice opportunity to get first editions at steep discounts in that 2008-10 period; but I was protecting my money and didn't make too many moves. Wish I had.
