A private collector in London has purchased for over 5 million dollars what in our hearts, we all wish we could have (at least for a few hours): a first edition of Shakespeare's First Folio. It was published in 1623, and is in "mint" condition, considering the 250 copies that exist.
What a buy.

I heard that at the closing of the old Guthrie in Minneapolis, the first actor to play Hamlet when the Guthrie opened bought an original copy of it to give AS A GIFT to the last actor to play Hamlet there right before the theatre closed. I don't know if this is true, I just heard it somewhere. But damn, what a gift from someone you don't even know...
Nice idea with this site its better than most of the rubbish I come across.
