Viggen Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice Price... 4. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon - $27,500 Published in 1776 in six volumes, the first of these volumes was limited to 1,000 copies in its first printing so complete sets of first editions are very rare. The set is considered a major literary achievement as it was adopted as a model for modern historical methodologies and led Gibbon to be described as the first modern historian of Ancient Rome.... ....the rest of the list at AbeBooks' Most Expensive Sales in 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
