If anybody's wondering... (Youtube link)
Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn't put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it's an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope's), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.

I just googled this is actually in the film. The mind boggles

This might beat the scene in The Passion of the Christ where Jesus invents the dining table with chairs.
He was a lousy carpenter according to scholars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OclYAJhyNY0

Flinging stones on a beach and I did come across some old pots with a 300th anniversary signed copy of The Torah.
Still signed by Noah, at a spry 413.

Rare texts are kinda my jam, a few highlights in my collection:
-
A signed first edition of the Necronomicon (it still screams and bleeds)
-
An early draft of the 10 commandments (before it got narrowed down to just 10)
-
The treatise between cats and dogs that lead to cats getting litter boxes and dogs getting walks
"The lord has given unto you these 15 —"
crash
"... 10 commandments!"

To my darling Candy.
All characters portrayed within this book are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

He most likely wasn't a carpenter at all, the Greek just says 'builder'. Probably a stone mason

That's nothin', can't beat my signed first draft of the Mahabharata, before it was ever even sent to an editor!

Holy shit, Dan Castellaneta wrote The Iliad!?
He does so much extra work, I figured he would have fuck you money from Simpsons as it is
-
That's nothing. I have a signed first edition of The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Let me know if the missing verses just randomly perished, were deemed "publisher-unfriendly" or never have been written.

Crazy that they removed the screaming from subsequent editions of the Necronomicon. Nowadays it's gone through so many revisions new copies don't even bleed. Sometimes the modern special editions will whimper a bit, but that's all you get.

What's like the coolest, most impressive literary book you can think of? But it has to be something most idiots will recognize.
I don't know, The Iliad?
Awesome. I need a rare book for this screenplay I'm writing. "First edition, signed copy..."

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Finding a untainted (no gooning!) virgin is near impossible, so getting the books to even give off an evil aura is next to impossible.
Also, since the 3rd Cosmic Revelation, there's no requirement to sign a pact with Cthulhu to print a copy, so quality control has dropped significantly.

Jesus actually wrote a book! I got it, he signed it. His cursive is really becoming
