Karl Marx Das Kapital
Uncle Toms Cabin
The uncensored version of Huck and Finn
Stalin
1984
Animal Farm
The truth about Vietnam (written in 1972)
Pulitzer Price Photographs 1942 to 1982
The family of Women Price winning photographs (1979)
and the list goes on
Everytime something controversial comes out I normally get it and try to get a first edition . Mostly I buy banned books. When my children are adults (some already are) I want them to see how the world was before censorship. When I was a teenagers.
For example - Uncle Toms Cabin cannot be read in any of our schools. The family of Women was censored and lots of photographs were removed.
I am just weird about it. My dad has quite an extensive political library he collected from 1950 to current. He is already sending me most of them to keep (he is 70 years old now)
I also have a quite large collection of 1900 Pornographic images, I inherited when my Grandfather passed. Including are also books about Kama Sutra and underground books regarding Bondage (that was actually very very popular in the 20's)
After the patriot act was passed I keep looking for books by private owners. I don't like to be tracked, stamped and followed. bad enough I am in the Porn Industry.
