Wiki has a picture of the 1925 first edition vol 1 I think.

Volume 2 published 1926, is here:

But there are others with different covers that claim to be first editions - so you may need to do a bit of reseach. Or ask a dealer.

Depending on its provenance and condition, it can fetch anywhere between $2000 and $4000, but a 1926 isn't a first edition.

I don't mean to be rude but pretty much every topic you ever post could be solved by a simple google search.
