I have volume 1 of Kim Il Sung’s works in English - printed in North Korea in the 70’s. I don’t know if the Foreign Languages Publishing House survived long enough for a Volume 2. They did put out some of Jong’s thoughts on film, if I recall correctly.
This is probably the prize of my collection. I have a first American printing of Lolita, which unfortunately has a bit of cat vomit stain on it or might be in that spot.
My rarest that I still own is a full collection of Shakespeare works from the early 1800s bound in leather. It is absolutely beautiful but isn’t worth much because the leather binding isn’t original. I did have a signed leather bound copy of Ender’s Game that was 1 of 2000 or something. I bought it for $200 brand new and sold it for $1500 a few years ago, though.
Itching to know if they included Two Noble Kinsman or any other of the apocrypha.
I’ll try to remember to look into that tonight
