A few exceedingly rare 1st editions have become available.
(Darwin's "Origin of Species)
Prices for 1st editions have suffered a bit since the market downturn of 2008 clipped the number of wealthy in America by about 14% in numbers. There was a glut at the antiquarian shops across the country, as many turned to emptying their libraries first, as a method of raising funds.
(Savoy Cocktail Book, 1st edition)
Their loss is our gain.
(9th edition Encyclopedia Brittainica)
I highly recommend any serious collector obtain these books, and at any cost.
