I went to Rare Books San Francisco and it was amazing to see what there (All books are first editions)
 |
| Signed by Winston Churchill |
 |
| Sir Isaac Newton-1704 |
 |
| First American Edition |
 |
| Thomas Paine-1751 |
 |
| Service Book and Instruction for Priests-1764 |
And they had some other cool stuff as well:
 |
| 1960's Souper Dress |
 |
| From 1845 |
 |
| World War I |
One thing was that was super cool was a they had a section for local people with their publishing:
 |
| Kate Laster |
 |
| Tomato Bird |
And the most valuable thing I saw there will set you back a mere $225,000:
I really enjoyed going to Rare Books San Francisco. I am always amazed by what I see.
I love these book covers
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that is one expensive Harry Potter! What a neat place to explore.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stress how much I love this post! Those books alone are amazing!
ReplyDeleteTHat's sad Harry Potter is worth more than War of the Worlds or Old Man and the Sea. But I guess it's all fashion....#TravelTuesday
ReplyDeletesuper cool! i want to go!
ReplyDeleteI've got The War of the Worlds on my bookshelf but it's not nearly as old as that one! What a fascinating place to visit.

ReplyDelete$225K for Harry Potter, though, seems a little excessive 😹

I plan to visit someday! I hope one of my books ends up there in 100 years or so, all tattered and beloved.
