Is Your Mother a Bibiliophile? Here is a Mother's Day gift that will cost you!


Looking for that perfect gift for the bibliophile mother that has everything?  Take a look at this article over at Mental Floss: 8 Rare Books that Cost a Fortune.  Maybe one of these costly rare books might work.  

Digital advancements like the Internet, e-book readers, and even your phone may have put a crimp in the sales of traditional books, but they haven't been able to slow down the rare book market. In fact, a 400-page book of psalms that dates back to 1640 is about to be auctioned off, and is expected to sell for over $30 million. Here are some other old, rare page turners that sold for big bucks.





If you had the money which of these rare books would you buy for your mother, or how about yourself?  Let us know here at The Things You Can Read.

Happy Reading!
