Ask HN: What is the most obscure book you own?

Just had an interesting conversation about book collecting this weekend: we asked each other which of their books is so obscure or rare that it's unlikely anybody else you know owns a copy.

For me, it's a printed copy of von Neumans "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC", the groundwork for modern computer architecture. Bought it from Kronecker Wallis, a tiny Spanish publisher.

    I have a bunch of first edition magazines. Too many to list here. Collecting was easy. I was in bookstores, and figured that any first edition was worth the nominal price.

    If anyone's interested,

    The Kybalion by Three Initiates

    Almost nobody has it but that's kinda part of how it's supposed to be.
