We're delighted to share a selection of beautiful volumes that have found their way from BIBLIO's pages into customers' prized collections. This list highlights ten high-end books sold on BIBLIO during the first quarter of 2025. Among these stunning editions are a couple of works by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the first American edition of Pride and Prejudice, and a lovely first edition of Anna Karenina—one of just 6,000 copies printed in Russia in 1878.

Taps at Reveille by F. Scott Fitzgerald — $8,811 

First edition, first printing, first state. This was the fourth and final collection of short stories that Fitzgerald published during his lifetime. Arguably the most revealing and ultimately serene of Fitzgerald's four authorized collections of short fiction.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie — $4,940 

UK: W. Collins, Sons & Co, 1926. First edition, first printing. This title is from a collection of books that included several of the writer Anthony Berkeley’s personal copies. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is one of Christie's best known and most controversial novels, its innovative twist ending having a significant impact on the genre.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen — $4,250

New York: Macmillan, 1894. The famous peacock edition. First published on 28 January 1813, Austen sold Pride and Prejudice's copyright for just £110. The manuscript was initially written between 1796 and 1797 in Steventon, Hampshire, where Austen lived in the rectory. Originally called First Impressions, it was never published under that title, and in following revisions it was retitled Pride and Prejudice.
