A fierce bidding war between two unidentified parties forced the price up, and applause erupted in the venerable auction house when the hammer came down and the 223-year-old book sold for $9,826,500 to the Mount Vernon Ladies Association. I don't think we'll see it for sale again.

I don’t think we will ever see it sold again either. This particular piece is fascinating. Just think.... decisions around and at the infancy of our nation were extracted from this as a reference book.
