What's the most expensive book you've actually read? 2 2

[cyclonus11]

A college textbook

[spracknetch23]

I'd say probably Albedo 2. But I didn't realize it was expensive when I read it. 

[TupennyConan]

My OO Fantasy Masterpieces starring the Silver Surfer 4 purchased by me from the Davis Islands Pharmacy spinner rack.

It possesses my heart & is the top book I've ever read or seen. 

[JazzMan]

Marvel Comics #1.

 

[Qalyar]

Probably a ~4.5ish copy of Fantastic Four #1, around 20 years ago at this point. 

[Primetime]

Cap 1, Cap 3, Bat 1, Tec 29, Tec 31, Action 13…

[Larryw7]

Suspense 3

Showcase 4

Detective 30,36 and 37

Superman 2

[rexinnih]

Ups and downs on value but either my X-Men 1 (CGC 1.5) or Hulk 181 (CGC 6.5). Both read before submitting. 

[pmpknface]

Mask Comics #1 & 2.

ASM 1

[Anah]

For me, the priciest book I've read would probably be my first edition of "The Great Gatsby." 

[MatterEaterLad]

My first JIM #83.

Bought it for $80 at Golden Age Collectibles in Seattle when I was 16.

[Dark Knight]

Tec 27, Marvel 1, Bat 1

Smelling the pages would be grand, but I’ll just have to settle for slick pager reprints (I think I have four versions at my disposal).

Batman 1, still not slabbed.  One of three copies owned by the late Jerry Robinson.

I'll let you read mine.  Just have the beer ready when I come over.

I owned a coverless AF15 at one time, and I gently and carefully read through it just to say that I read the first Spider-man story.

The first edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, I think it was the most expensive. Although in fact they all become cheaper over time. Only collectibles remain in price or increase in price. I try to buy a book every month. But my hobby gives negative results in my studies, so I catch up as best I can. Found a personal statement writing service recently, used https://ca.edubirdie.com/personal-statement-writing-service for this. I can’t seem to manage my time correctly. Books are always in the foreground for me.
