Have you ever received a book from the library that turned out to have immense value?

I've recently gotten a reference title that apparently is excessively rare, and is seemingly only found for no less than $1,500.

I wonder if these institutions even know half the time.

You can't sell them if taken from a library though, can you?

I would never dream of doing anything like that.

It's a violation of the public trust.

A library in my city has Codex Seraphinianus, but they don't let you borrow it. Had to read it in the building. They also have Une Semaine de Bonte but they don't let people read it at all. You probably need connections or have to be a student or an academic to access it.
Fuck them, it's not even the original pressing, it's just a reprint from '78.

Somewhat. I got an art book on Rothko that's worth about 500 new. I've had it for about 2 weeks. It was funny because they had it reserved for me with a piece of blue paper and a rubber band.

Original or Dover Art edition?

mine came from a different collection, and they'd affixed an identification sticker to its face

That actually looks pretty interesting. Now I want to read it.
