The Most Expensive Book in the World

[CFTraveler]

A dude from Germany has written a book that is prob. the most expensive book in the world. Apparently whoever buys it will have it translated to whatever their native language is, and it supposedly answers all the 'deep' questions we have about life. Can I say *cough-bs-*?

Oliver, would you tell us if the second link has more info than the first?

Not really.

Also - if the books he "sells" now (if any) win a literature prize, he wants to raise that to 1.53 million Euro a piece instead.

Is there any numerological significance to 153 or do I need to read the book for that?

PS - I find the bloggers' headlines misleading. Something can only be the most expensive thing if there is any demand for it that would meet that price.

Else I could just say my nail clippings are worth 1,000 Euro a piece because that is my asking price at the moment (okay, I might be willing to negotiate that! Buy now! :P :lol: )

But Wait! There's More!

Only while supply lasts! Limited time offer! Don't wait till the next delivery!

Yeah.. I hope it comes with a free magnifying glass to read all the text on those 13 pages. Makes you wonder if someone will actually buy it or not. :lol:

You can always count on people who inherited their money... ;)
