$10 Million for a Book... Really?

http://www.wishtv.com/dpps/news/strange/rare-audubon-birds-of-america-auctioned-for-10m-ob10-jgr_3671474

The worlds most expensive book listes at ten million dollars. The book is by John James Audubon. Its title is "Birds of America". It consists of pictures of birds.

Are you serious? Ten million dollars for a book of birds. That has to be the biggest waste of money anyone could ever spend. If someone is going to buy a ten million dollar book they should just give the money to a charity. What a waste of time, and money. Some people are just plain stupid to even think about buying a book that expensieve. I would never buy a book over a hundred dollars.

  1. I cannot even imagine how someone would pay 10 million dollars to buy a book. i would not even pay more than 20 dollars for a book. i would like someone to tell me what is so valuable about that book anyways.

  2. I think its ridiculous for a book to go for that much money. Im about to make my own book with pictures of birds in it. I agree with Andrew when he says that he wouldnt pay over 20$ for a book.

  3. This book sounds fabulous to me. I don't know why all of you think this is such a ridiculous price. If I won the lottery, this would be the first thing I'd purchase.
