TTT: If money were no problem, what books would I buy?

Top Ten Tuesday: Just a little dreaming today. 
What would I buys if I had unlimited funds to buy books?

Available for a mere $1000. No problem.


2. The latest hardcover edition of the Harry Potter Series, 2014 ed.
Available for $123.
3. Three book hardcover collectible set of Lord of the Rings.
Available in the secondary market, $99.

5.  A Wrinkle in Time in Quartet, Hardcover Set
Just a few dollars (ha), $499.99
6. His Dark Materials Set by Philip Pullman
This set seems like a bargain at $44.37


7. Signed copy of the 1977 edition of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
$695. The sky is the limit, right?

8. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 5 books boxed set
Paperback (I couldn't find the complete set in hardcover) $33.96

9. Saint John's Illuminated Bible: The Psalms
I want this and I can afford it at $48.81

Grand Total (you did say it was fully loaded, right?)= $3087.08


I already have a hardcover set of Jane Austen books and of The Chronicles of Narnia. so I don't need them, in case you were wondering about their absence. 

Well, this was fun, but I usually spend very little money on books because I like to borrow books from the library! So I went for it.
