World's Cheapest
Book is The Bible
CHICAGO iff) The world’s
chaapast -book -is also its most 'ex-
The book is the Bible - the
pensive.
greatest best seller ever priutod.
The price ranges from TO cents
to as much as *500.090. And the
top oost will possibly double as the
years pass.
-For those who want a Bible but
caii’t spare the 70 cents, there are.
many organizations that will give
a copy free.
The Rev. -Don Norman, who has
devoted a good part of his life to
the study and purchase of Bibles,
said the rare editions of the Good
Book will become scarcer and more
expensive as more and more of
them are picked up by public and
private collections.
"The day may come when a Gu
tenburg original will east as much
as a million dollars—and it will be
worth -it,” he said.
The high price Os Bibles was
demonstrated recently when the
two-volume Guteiibesg ‘Schuchberg
oopy” was offered for sale at ah
asking price of 8280,080. A wealthy
Eastern collector finally purchased
it for an undisclosed sum.
ONE WORTH II4UF MILLION'
The Library of Congress pos
sesses the most expensive Bible in,
the -United States—a three-volume'
Gutenberg printed on vallum vain-1
ad at *509,080.
Norman, who is executive secre
tary of the Chicago Bible Society,
pointed out that a Bible must be
one of the 46 first copies of the -Ou-l
tenberg version to-draw a six-figure
price tag.
That’s because these-few volumes
are the first-books ever printed with
movable type in the western world.
However, most Christians are
more interested in a modernized
version of the traditional family
Bible, Norman said.
Schwcistris ano Kirs. 7aughn Sink,
both of Greensboro; 14-grandchild
ren. one great-grandchild.
Tire days of the massive Bible
that rested on a center table in
the front parlor are passing, al
though such editions can still be
obtained for around *SS.
Instead, modem readers prefer
a smaller book costing between $lO
and $lB which includes the tradi
tional pages far recording the
deaths, births and marriages of a
family, Norman said.
‘•You’ll Still find the family Bible
in a promient place—gonerally on
the living room lamp table," Nor
man said. "So I guess things haven't, 1
changed so much, after all." j
