SATNROSE’S BOOK QUIZ

2. What is the most valuable printed book?

Answer in invisible ink: 2. Was The Gutenberg Bible; now it is the Caxton Canterbury Tales

Note: I think a complete Gutenberg would beat the Canterbury if offered up to auction. However, the Caxton Canterbury is currently the most expensive printed book ever to change hands. 13 million? I forget.....

Is there a larger sumo book?

I was really thinking of books published in the U.S., but there might be something bigger I overlooked.

Sumo is bigger, but you can hardly overlook it, try as you might. 😉

No follow-up to the teaser about sum£ here, I'm afraid, but I did have a follow-up to this question:

540.) What is the most valuable dance book?

540. I'd go with the Danse Macabre, Paris, Guy Marchant, September, 1485, but there are other 15th century printed editions, not to mention manuscript possibilities.

I'm sure fine could give a much more informative answer.

Great choice, Oldbookshop! I was thinking it might be some type of photography book on dance issued in a limited printing ... no title came to mind.


Coincidentally, today I came across an actual realized value on a dance book:

A 1945 first edition copy of Ballet by Alexey Brodovitch with text by Edwin Denby, illustrated with 104 gravure reproductions of Brodovitch's graphic photographs and issued in a limited edition of 500 copies (of which it is speculated that even fewer were actually printed), sold at Swann's Photographic Literature auction in May, 2007 for $5,200 (not including buyer's premium), exceeding its pre-sale estimate of $2,500-$3,500.
