Folio

First Folio
A 1623 First Folio of Shakespeare's work is going to auction on July 13th and is expected to sell for up to 3.5 million pounds. That's exactly....how many dollars?

Behold the Folio:



The First Folio preserves 18 of his plays, including some of the most major, which otherwise would have been lost for all time," English literature specialist Peter Selley said as the volume was put on show on Thursday.

Relatively complete copies of the Folio in contemporary or near contemporary bindings very rarely come to market. There is only one copy recorded as remaining in private hands," he added.
Now I have to figure out how to raise enough capital to get in on the ground floor of this, er, investment?

Questions, comments, concerns? Please feel free to E-mail me!

3.5 Million pounds comes out to be roughly 6 Million USD. If you figure out how to raise that kind of $$$ let me know, I want in.
