In 2008, Swann Galleries offered a signed and inscribed copy of If I Ran the Zoo (1950) by Dr. Seuss. It contains a small but charming original drawing by the good doctor.

September 8, 2013 Update: This item has now been resold on eBay. The price is slightly lower than the 2008 Swann price when you take into account the auction house buyer's premium and, to be strictly correct, inflation.
