I'm curious: What's the rarest book in your personal library?

@jonty First edition signed copies of Terry Pratchett's World Of Poo and Where's My Cow?
The locks and dogs make for good enough security, but god help any potential book-nappers if the house rabbit finds them.
@jonty ha. Probably a book I wrote about typeahead.js that came out after a major update making most of the book useless.
A few people have asked what mine is. Hard to be sure - most of our belongings have been in storage for two years.
I suspect it is a leather-bound embossed hardback NASA copy of their seminal 1977 report "Space Settlements: A Design Study". The one with the incredible space station artwork you have *definitely* seen.
Bought sight unseen after watching auctions for over a decade. Startled to find it was a mint copy of an edition I have never *ever* seen documented.
