Did anyone know about the His Dark Materials prequel that's been released? I'm interested because it stars my favoritest character from the series. Two of them actually!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I go to the rare book room to ogle the 1st edition hardback of Dark Carnival (the original title of SWTWC). Someday it will be mine. Someday.
There's a copy on alibris for about $800...ijs. Not signed, though. There are copies there also that look to be in much better shape than the Powell's copy, and there is at least one copy there that is not only first edition, but first printing.
Signed, It took me a while, but I found my first edition, first printing (with the mistake) of Bemelmans' Madeline, and will someday have Stuart Little, too.

I'd love to find/be able to afford the first editions of the entire set of Little House books.
Oh, and Misty of Chincoteague, too.

oh! I haven't thought about Marguerite Henry in years. She so fed my pre-teen horse love.

See, I don't need a signed first edition, because the copy that is the most important to me IS signed: the version that was released when the movie came out, that I won as a prize at the first SF/F con my dad ever took me to. But I DO want a first edition, some day.
(Not only is my childhood copy of SWTWC signed, but I recently found the photos I have of Ray Bradbury holding Clovis. Yes, I met one of my writing idols and asked him to pose for a photo with my fanged bunny. He didn't bat an eye at the request.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Considering Ray Bradbury and his fan base, that's probably not the oddest request he's gotten. (And Clovis does have lovely company manners.)
