Hey /lit/, what's the most valuable book you own, purely in monetary terms?

For me it's a first (American) edition of T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom, it's worth several thousand pounds. What about the rest of you guys? Any old, rare, or very well bound books?

I have a bunch of English lit from the 1770s.

And most of Ian Idriess, but you plebs won't have read any of his masterpieces

my e-reader is worth about $80.

All I can think of is a first edition of Norman Mailer's Naked and the Dead. In good condition, intact dust jacket and everything. I spent a grand total of three dollars on it. It's probably not worth a lot, but more than any of my other books
