As someone who enjoys collecting books, especially first edition/first printings (1st/1st), I’m curious what are the rarest 1st/1sts that you own. If you have a first edition but a later printing that is still very rare (such as T*he Hobbit* or *Dune*) then go ahead and mention it.
I have 1st/1sts of *Snow Crash*, *Ender’s Game*, *Dune*, *Hyperion*, *Salem’s Lot*, *The Great Hunt*, *The Short-Timers,* and *The Stand*. My copies of *Snow Crash* and *Hyperion* are signed.
As *Snow Cras*h is signed, I believe that is the single rarest 1st/1st that I have, as only 600 hardcover 1st/1st copies were printed back in 1992, making it one of the smallest first print runs. Probably only half of those have survived over the last 32 years, and I would imagine only a fraction of those are signed.
