Скачать или смотреть This Old Book Could Be Worth Millions

A $3 bowl from a New York garage sale once sold for $2.2 million at Sotheby’s.
And that kind of thing still happens.
Rare historical items can show up on eBay or AbeBooks—including 18th-century American law books.
These books reveal everyday life in early America, which is why the Library of Congress, major universities, and national archives preserve them.
Here’s how valuable they can be:
A 1789 law book sold at Christie’s for $9.8 million.
An 18th-century U.S. Constitution sold for $43.2 million.
And the Declaration of Independence sold for $8.1 million.
Some 1700s law books actually include both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. So if you ever find one, you might be holding a treasure worth millions.
