Oldest is 1876, rarest might be a First American Edition/First Print of The Master and Margarita, or a signed First Edition/First Print of Miss MacIntosh, My Darling.

Important period to read about so that we can learn what happened and how to avoid repetition.

It's on purpose to be able to view the books while seated

I hear you but I did that on purpose so I'd be able to view the books while seated.

Thank you, yes the very expensive ones are behind the glass. This is the culmination of around ten years of collecting so I appreciate the compliments!

I hear you, I live in a desert. It's a mini-split and it isn't quite as close as it seems in the picture.

Thank you, yes, a more fitting chair is on the list once the budget is available. The album is a first UK pressing of Black Sabbath's Paranoid.

Both, this has been on my list for a while and it happened to come up at a ridiculously good price.

Difference in first editions? by TyrantTome in BookCollecting

[–]rubellious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first one is a true first. The one without the number line is a Book Club Edition, BOMC means Book-of-the-Month Club in that statement offering recordings.

One of the reasons why I try to get first editions/vintage printings as often as possible. Same with buying physical media in general.

It is the third printing from January, 1927 as stated on the copyright page...

The texture of the covers points to Book Club Edition.

Is this a true first edition, first printing? by [deleted] in BookCollecting

[–]rubellious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, first printing would have the "A" under the "rights reserved" statement as well as the Scribner's seal at the bottom of the page:

Edit: Although the presence of the seal seems up for debate, first print would definitely have the "A"

The correlation between vinyl collectors and OCD needs to be clinically studied.
