Modern literary fiction 1st/1st's of authors I love and/or books that made an significant impression are more my thing. They're relatively easy to be had, are typically found in fine shape, and for the most part cost less than a hard night out. Vollmann, Kis, Amis, Pamuk, DFW, Bolano, Marias, etc. I have no expectation that they'll appreciate much over time, but I like the idea of having something off the first run. Should I happen upon some money, I'd like to move onto first editions of Thomas Mann, ETA Hoffmann, Knut Hamsun, and so on. Thing thing is, I want to inspect a book before purchase, especially if we're talking $$$. Seems the only way to do that is at an antiquarian book fair, and in my experience there's quite a mark-up at those events. I guess that's the price of a physical inspection
