This story about a 1543 copy of Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) selling for $2.2 mil. Yes, amazing. I think I would have been shaking just to be in the same room with the book. But check out the other books this guy collected: Einstein, Darwin, Karl Marx, Sir Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler.
