The Most Expensive Books in the World [iBB Live #6]
There’s a piece of news that triggered us to discuss this topic. A medieval Hebrew prayer book is expected to be sold for about $6m at Sotheby’s. However, we want to approach this theme thoroughly. Many aspects influence the value of the book. Moreover, some very expensive books were never sold and bought or were sold a very long time ago, so their monetary value has to be settled differently. The modern world also brings some pretty unexpected angles to this discussion. For one, can NFTs have any relation to the market of books sales?
As usual, we also plan to discuss some other news as well. And maybe introduce a new part to our stream and talk about the representation of books in popular art. We want to begin with the bookish objects of the Game of Thrones series. There are many things worth noting there!
Join us on Wednesday, 15th of September, at 12:00 CEST / 6:00 AM EDT (I know that’s a bit too early) / 20:00 ACT. We hope we’ll see some guests from Asia, Australia, and New Zealand!
