I have volume 1 of Kim Il Sung’s works in English - printed in North Korea in the 70’s. I don’t know if the Foreign Languages Publishing House survived long enough for a Volume 2. They did put out some of Jong’s thoughts on film, if I recall correctly.

This is probably the prize of my collection. I have a first American printing of Lolita, which unfortunately has a bit of cat vomit stain on it or might be in that spot.

Damn, wish I could go get a picture of them but I have 1930 ish prints of Dante's Paradisio, Purgatorio, and Inferno. The specific print is relatively sought after and there is only one more in circulation. Doesn't have the dust covers like mine do though. Got them from a local collector. I also have a physics textbook from 1820 and a good few others I couldn't name. If I still remember when I get home in a few hours I'll update
