Since you are a prudent owner, you had it in your safe deposit vault and/or lock box. Hope the weight of all that steel didn't break your foot bones. The last time I saw a first edition of Christmas Carol for sale, it was something over $7,000.

from beneath the warming hearth,your resident Church Mouse voiced a squeak of disapproval at having been so unceremoniously rousted from it`s mid-day nap ?

What I hope happened next: You said a heart felt thank you to God for the relatively tiny pain in your toe (book cushion) compared to ruining your rare and expensive 1st edition?
What likely happened next: You panicked, reached down to grab the book and slammed your head into one of the bookcase shelves?

Did you end up on crutches like Tiny Tim?
Or the damaged member was severed and went flying across the room at great speed (missile toe)?
Or perhaps you just cried out in anguish "What! The Dickens?"

You thanked heaven that your body had helped cushion the hazardous fall and no damage was done to your valuable volume.
You picked it up carefully, checked it, and then did a few hops to help relieve the pain.
