Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop! Hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer this week the prompt is:
Is there a hard-to-find first-edition that you would love to own? If so, why? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)
There are so many! I would love to own a book that was hand illustrated. A really early book that wouldn’t have been “published” for the public, so something that monks would have spent hours writing and illustrating.
If I had to name one it would be a Jane Austen. I would love Pride and Prejudice because it was one that I really enjoyed studying at school, but also Sense and Sensibility because that was the first one published.
What about you?

I haven’t heard of that. I will have to have a look at that.

It’s a child’s book, but it has so many memories for me. My nan bought me a copy when I was small, and I’ve cherished it where since x

I can’t imagine a real first-edition medieval illuminated manuscript. That would be amazing!
Happy weekend!

I would so cool to own an medieval book written by a monk. It would be unique because no two medieval manuscripts are the same.

Exactly. All that hard work and actually making the colours…

I think Jane Austen would be a good option (and I think Pride and Prejudice would be my top pick of hers too!) although I am partial to Charlotte Brontë myself.

I love Jane Eyre. That would definitely be one of my top classics.

Any Jane Austen book would be a great choice.

Thank you. I would prefer one that was published in her lifetime, but other than that I’m not too fussy!!

P&P would be a good one to have. I don’t have any first edition books, and I don’t have many physical books at all.

I have so many books. Not many are first editions, but we do have the Harry Potter first editions (I personally have from book 4 onwards, and I think my partner has 1-3).
