Bauman's Rare Books has quite a few Wilde firsts, but of course they command prices in the thousands of dollars. He is so famous, and so collectible that it is very unlikely you'll come across one at a bargain price on the shelves of a second hand book shop, but you might---keep hunting. That's half the fun.

Answer 2

Check with Bauman Rare Books. I've posted their site below.

It seems to me I've seen Wilde books advertised by them, though I can't be certain. As for cost, everything depends on condition and which book it is. Bauman is not a cheap dealer, so be warned.

He's probably still buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Answer 4

At an auction. Be prepared to pay a LOT.
