I don't think that it will interest anybody. But me. But.
A first french edition of FRANKENSTEIN has appeared for sale. On abebooks.
This first edition is so rare, that, to my knowledge copies are only available at the french national librairies. And one was for sale a few years back (at 20k)
It is very expensive (a small 55k dollars ahahah), but I think that it would be interesting to share, nonetheless
Oh, and, if anybody here is really considering it, please let me know so that I can share you an affiliate link to get a small commission :p

Update:
My thanks to those who have been rooting for me during my health issues over the last few months/years. Complications severely impacted my expected return to work but I am exceedingly happy to report that I've been back since 14 October. I've worked about 20 straight work days without any problems. I am feeling fine both physically and mentally. Actually, I feel the best I've felt in at least 7 years. I don't write here very often but reading the posts, in particular, and the site overall has been a significant part of my recovery and I wanted you all to know it. I ALWAYS feel a jolt of adrenaline when I come here. I have few vices since I've written off hookers and booze (jk...or not) but sports, Coca-Cola, this site and SK collecting are all at the top of the list. Still a bit before we usher out 2019, but I'm looking forward to a new start with a healthy, successful 2020. Thanks, again.

Hey John, what an ordeal! Glad you pulled through.
By the way, screw Coke, sports and booze, and especially that other hobby! Hang in there!

Glad you’re on the mend, John.

I went and saw Doctor Sleep movie on Sunday....Was pretty good...not outstanding but very watchable.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
My random thought of the day is, pet a dog, you'll feel better:
If pics of pets are not allowed, just let me know and I'll delete this message.

I completely agree. Pictures of pets are encouraged!
I know the one in the middle is a poodle, but what about the other two?

I think the one in the middle is a terrier and the other two are poodle mixes of some type.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
The dog in the middle is a rescue dog. Some kind of a terrier mix breed.
The other two are Bedlington Terriers, or as we like to call them, lamb dogs.
