A Rare Book ~~ A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it. Not Gutenberg? gasped the collector. Yes, that was it! You idiot! Youve thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars! Oh, I dont think this book would have been worth anything close to that much, replied the man. It was scribbled all over in the margins by some guy named Martin Luther.
