I know this totally makes me "that guy", but it could very well be a signed first edition of a specific translation of the Iliad.

I don't think I know anyone who cares that much about a translator's signature, but who knows?

Nerds do. I wouldn’t mind a signed copy of Tolkien’s Beowulf.

That reminds me. A friend of mine translated a German Longsword fighting manual. I need to get her to sign my copy.

Is it available online? Never know when I might need to know how to use a German longsword.
