Rare books! fantastic
Kudos to your review of my book haha - good to see you on here!
Yeah, I’ve got a pretty good collection, including a First Edition (British) Homage to Catalonia, signed Player Piano, manuscripts from all sorts of places. etc. I got into the rare books circuit - it’s quite an adventure.
For example, there’s an Orwell tour of Barcelona for those discerning. And SF has a bookstore that combines KKK material with original Black Panther posters and queer writings from the Cultural Revolution.

whaaaat?! now you tell me... I was in Barcelona last month.
@Kenobi failed to mention that tour, eh!

@Kenobi I will teach you the ways of obscure underground tours
I have a nose for these. There’s one for Dresden where you can visit the actual cellar Vonnegut was in when the firebombing happened.

I do have a book from Liu Xiaobo signed by many prominent Chinese dissidents/writers. I was actually hoping at one point to get a copy of Snow Crash (first edition) signed by a bunch of the cypherpunks in the same manner
