The Most Expensive Book
The Most Expensive Book
The most expensive book in the world is not Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto or Das Kapital. The most expensive book in the world is not Darwin’s Descent of Man or Origen of the Species. The most expensive book in the world, the most highly valued, the most valuable book you can get your hands on, wasn’t written by any Pulitzer Prize winner in the last hundred years. The greatest book on this earth, according to people who buy and sell and deal with money, is nothing written by any American author since 1600. By far the most valuable book on earth is not the Koran, by Muhammed, nor is it anything that anybody wrote in the Orient. The most valuable book in the world, according to people who deal with hard cash, is a German Bible. One half of the original Gutenberg Bible in German sold last year for $5,400,000.00.
