Personal library's prized posession?

Forever, I've been missing The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three of my Dark Tower 1st eds. I lent my original copy of TG to my roomie in grad school and it's gone, only ever had TDotT Plume pprbck.
So my DT shelf looked like this (the black copy is the 2003 revision):
But after years of searching online and garage sales, etc. I found a 1st ed of Drawing for $47 last week, then stumbled on this at a used book store yesterday in Brenham, Tx:
So now, top shelf looks like:
Is definitely the jewel of my library. Any other bibliophiles wanna share?

Old hardback copy of The Bourne Identity. Makes me laugh because it was one of my granny's books, and she's not exactly the person you'd think would enjoy spy thrillers.

Is it a first print? This is where value can skyrocket, especially if was adapted AND the first print was limited in HC.

Signed copy (1929) of Richard Halliburton's - The Glorious Adventure.

This one is cool, the first print of Thinner. Published before the Bachman=King reveal, with the fake photo on the DJ.

I have a few good ones...need to take actual pics but these guys are sealed up right now...
First Edition Ayn Rand Fountainhead (with dustjacket)
I have a 1937 first edition (limited printing) of Audubon's Birds of America prints that I've loved since I was a kid. Original dustjacket intact.
Almost mint 2nd printing "Revised" Ghosts Along the Mississippi.
TBH - I traded my Ghosts for the Audubon with my folks so they can keep it with their Louisiana books while I'm in Texas.

All my "collectibles" are either HUGE with no words or HUGE with no pictures.

Unfortunately it has a happy birthday message (it was a gift) on the first page. frickin hicks, it's called a birthday card.
I also have a signed copy of a book written by the physician who looked over the prisoners during the Nuremburg trials. He called Goring a fat frick when I talked to him.

I got one of these. I can read any book any time I want. You should try it. You can throw out those space wasters and turn your library into a movie theatre....
First edition of Moviegoer is my prized possession. Also have an early edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Samuel Clemens (early 1900s)

This is mine.
1st Ed of Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward
All around fantastic book. Finding one in really good condition cost me about $75.

I got Robert Duvall to autograph a copy of The Great Santini.

Here is probably my best piece. It's technically not a book, but I have it in my library. It's a set of 30-lithographs of pre-WWI German Dreadnoughts. 1st Edition, 18.5 inches x 14.5"

Signed copies of Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winner" and Robert Lee Scott, Jr.'s "The Day I Owned the Sky".
Got both of then at garage sales, no more than a couple of bucks apiece.

I recently read the moviegoer, what a great book and author... Glad I finally discovered his works.
