The Most Expensive Book sold in 2006
William Shakespeare's First Folio of 1623 sold for $5.2 million US
I realise this is old news, but I want this in my blog - just for the record.
If Owen Gingerich can do a Copernicus Census, (see post below)
and someone else can do a Gutenberg Bible census,
then perhaps I can do a census as well.
Now which book shall I choose?
The First Folio or the Second?
Decisions, Decisisons.
