I have a first edition copy of Dune in quite good condition. Unfortunately, it's a book club version from the same year. Not bad for a $1 purchase from a small town used book sale. I actually ended up buying the Barnes & Noble collectible edition Dune as well.

Unfortunately, you paid essentially what the book is worth Hieronymous Alloy posted:Yeah, unfortunately "first book club editions" are generally worthless. They're actually kindof a fun entry-level into book collecting in that regard, if you aren't too concerned about dollar value and just want to own a neat book. Cool, I didn't expect anyone else here to have one.  It's not a huge disappointment to me. When I bought the book I was only just starting a home library and wanted a copy of Dune that wasn't some tattered paperback. It's interesting to me to see the Cold War era dust jacket art and stuff like that.I have a couple of books in particular that I'll take pictures of when I have the time tonight... one is a nice but not particularly valuable copy of Crime & Punishment from the 1930s. The other is a history of the First World War from about ten years before that.

As promised, here are two older books in my library. Both are from 1928. Between the two I paid about $15 for them. They're not worth much but I like 'em. I apologize for the crappy camera phone photos. The first is a history of the First World War, entitled History of the World War. Obviously, the second one hadn't happened yet:    Thanks, Ethel and Edith. The second is a biography of Otto von Bismarck. Entitled Bismarck. It's not in the greatest condition, but it's still very readable:
