Well, considering he's more into incunabula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incunable) that one is a bit new for him.

 

I know, I have seen his site and its breath taking

PS
Is this a bit over priced ?????

 

Naaahh...

 

wow what find and selling it on ebay....imaging the fv fee's lol

 

Cheaper than an auction house. The big dudes who are known for this stuff charge hefty fees.

 

This is another one - a bargain a low seven figure price. More power to him if he gets it!

"SERIOUS KNOWLEDGEABLE BUYERS ONLY !"
Do you think they would turn down the $3/4 million because the bidder was flippant or didn't really know much about it - just thought it looked cool? Will there be a test?

 

I just wrote out a check for that book

 

Will they accept Zimbabwe dollars?

 

I have a collection of wooden nickels.

 

How fun to find these old threads

Birds of America, James Audubon — $11.5 million

In 2000, Christie’s auctioned off a copy (one of only 119 known complete copies in the world) of Birds in America for $8,802,500. Ten years later, another complete first edition was sold at London at Sotheby’s for £7,321,250 (or about $11.5 million) Today, another copy of the enormous four volume set goes up for auction at Christie’s, and perhaps another world record will be made.
