Nabokov's Butterfly: And Other Stories of Great Authors and Rare Books | 
The author, a rare book dealer, writes about twenty very special editions of major books that passed through his hands. He bought Graham Greene‘s first edition copy of Lolita, with Nabokov‘s drawing of a butterfly in it, and then sold it the next day for a $10,000 profit. 😬
