In a CNN article titled Rare Psalm book may sell for $30 million by Kristen Kiraly, she writes the following:
A rare copy of the first book printed in what is now the United States of America may sell for as much as $30 million when it comes up for auction in November, according to Sotheby's.Wow, I wonder if the Bay Psalm Book, will actually fetch $30 million dollars at auction later this year??
Congregational Puritans first published the Bay Psalm Book in 1640 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Sotheby's presale estimate for one of 11 remaining copies ranges from $15 million to $30 million.The last time a Bay Psalm Book appeared at auction was in 1947.
