Rare Tiny Brontë Book Could Set $1.25m Sale Record
A tiny book written by Charlotte Brontë is up for auction at the 2022 New York International Antiquarian Book Fair. The fair, now in its 61st edition, is being billed the “world’s finest antiquarian book fair.” While many eye-catching items are up for auction, Brontë’s book is one getting some of the most buzz in part because the event will mark the first time the book is unveiled publicly since a 1916 auction. The book’s seller is asking for $1.25m, which is believed to be the highest ever for a female author. The previous record was set just last year when a first edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein sold for $1.17m. The fair will be held between April 21st and April 24th at the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan.
