More first editions for sale

Never mind if the first edition of Wuthering Heights soon going on sale is not what you're looking for in the topic of antiquarian books. We bring you a couple more today.

The Pasadena Star News has an article on Michael Sharpe Rare & Antiquarian Books. The following is mentioned in passing:

But Sharpe "doesn't read the literature," which includes pristine first editions of everything from "Jane Eyre," at $125,000, to Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" at a more modest $6,000.
"I get a paperback!" he said. (Janette Williams)

And that's true. Their Brontë catalogue on Abebooks actually has another Brontë item apart from this first first edition of Jane Eyre: the first edition by Smith, Elder of the Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (which had been published before by Aylott & Jones in 1846). The price? A mere US$ 7500.00 .
