for these reasons:
1. to read
2. the covers
3. the illustrations (for future design work and inspiration)
4. the maps
5. the rarity
6. possible resale
here are some recent finds:
with a great non-jacket cover too:

i like this post except for number 6.
i bought three new books thirty minutes ago. two were for the covers and editions (poe and fitzgerald) and one was for the content alone (sexton).
I have a new copy of "This is London" which I read for the first time on a rainy day in London. They also sell them at Anthropologie, which makes no sense. I would really like to see/touch the copy you have.
I love A.W. Tozer, he puts things in such a great way. He really should have had more help naming his books though-I've got a 70's copy of a book of his called 'That Incredible Christian'. It's super dippy, but he's so cool I don't care.
I don't know if you know much about Miroslav Sasek, the Czech author of I Like London. One of my fave sites, i like,has a sister site about Sasek, and I remembered your post about him. His illustrations are pretty great.
