ON TUESDAY December 7th a complete volume of John James Audubon's "The Birds of America" fetched a record price at auction. The book, which stands more than three feet by two feet (91cm x 61cm) and includes 435 hand-coloured illustrations of birds from North America in life-size, reached $10.3m. The previous record for a book was another copy of Audubon's masterpiece, sold in 2000, which reached $10.2m in today's prices. Indeed, a list of the ten most-expensive books would include five copies of "The Birds of America". Our chart, therefore, strips out any repeat mentions of individual titles. Many of the most expensive books are works of non-fiction, such as Redouté's illustrations of flowers, Gutenberg's Bible and the Declaration of Independence. 更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/
12月7日，周二，约翰·詹姆斯·奥杜邦的《美洲鸟类图谱》全集在拍卖会上创下了拍卖记录。该书长逾三英尺，宽二英尺（即91cm x 61cm）,包含435副北美鸟类实际大小的手工彩色插画，拍得1030万美元的高价。创下上一个记录的书也是奥杜邦的杰作，于2000年出售，按照如今的价格来算达1020万美元。实际上，10本最昂贵的书中，有5本属于《美洲鸟类图谱》系列。因此，我们的图表没有重复提及个人所获的名次。大多数最昂贵的书都不是小说，比如Redouté的花图、谷登堡的《圣经》和《独立宣言》。
