    That will be a very nice return on their investment if it does fetch $20-30m. Were you thinking of putting in a bid yourself LH??? I thought it might have added interest for you, since this copy was owned by the Earl of Cardigan.

    I just don't have the money to spare at the moment, though it would look good on the wall.
    The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.

    I just have a basic objection to historical documents being put up for bid. They should be in museums, not in private collections.

    I assumed that he was hoping that the National Archives would buy it, instead of him giving it to them on permanent loan. Do you know if he has explored that possibility? I absolutely agree with you that it should be held in trust by a national collection.
