It really depends on what it is. If it’s something I love, it depends on what I can afford. I paid $500 for a first edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide with the Capricorn 1 ad on the back. And I paid quite a bit for an American first edition copy of The Hobbit that I used in place of a ring to propose to my now wife. But most of my books are pretty cheap.

I did manage to find a first print/edition copy of The Shining for $1 at a library sale years ago…that was a cool find.

I’m a fan of Douglas Adams. So for the Guide I have an advance reading copy, a first print hardcover (with Capricorn One ad), the paperback first edition, American first edition, a paperback reading copy, and several of the collections from various periods. (trilogy, four book trilogy, and ultimate five book trilogy) And I occasionally pick up copies I see cheap in case I need to gift it to someone.

I have a copy of “What Men Know About Women” and every page is blank.

“It must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.”
