Gosh, where to start?
Both Unix issues of the Bell System Technical Journal, in pretty good shape.
Real Bell Labs V8 and V9 manuals, and the published V10 manuals.
A first generation photocopy of the USG UNIX 4.0 documents (which
Segaloco scanned a while back) with a UNIX 3.0 reference manual.
The published version (manuals, CD, floppy) of Plan 9, 3rd edition.
First edition awk book signed by all three authors.
Both editions of the C book, signed by both authors.
All other books by BWK autographed by him.
Jon Bentley's books, autographed by him.
Rob Pike's signature on one or both of the books he coauthored with BWK.
The Design of 4.3 BSD book signed by the authors.
A "Sex, Drugs, and UNIX" button, but not the very first one, I think.
The PDP-11 with the daemons on it T-shirt, from I think the USENIX 25th
anniversary conference.
I sent BWK the "UNIX" pens some years go which show up in his
memoir about Unix. I didn't keep any for myself. Oh well.
That's from memory, I'd have to go browsing the bookshelves in
my basement and my closet for more... :-)
