Question
What is the most obscure book among your prized possesions?
.. I dont mean Jude the Obscure, but the truly hidden gems. Mine is Johan Veningas quotHet Raadsel van de Vier Getallenquot.
Answer
Great question! But I must admit that Im curious to know why a fairly rare modern German detective thriller which was published in is one of your prized possessions. My passion is for the Renaissance, so the book books? I would grab if flood waters threatened my bookshelves would be an early but not first edition of a work by Giordano Bruno, quotCabal del Cavallo Pegaseoquot, quotThe Cabala of the Horse Pegasusquot. It has some faint foxing, and I am afraid to open it and read it, but I love it and I have two new copies of the work, so I can read the words without doing damage to this wonderful book.
