Collection Development in One Fell Swoop

Link to May 31 New York Times article "Michelangelo for Readers With Deep Pockets".

Quote: But then, this is no ordinary book, starting with its retail price of 100,000 euros, or around $155,000, at Friday’s exchange rate. Included in the price of what its publishers are calling “the most beautiful book in the world” is a sleek black case, its own stand and a 500-year guarantee. (Even if we interlibrary-loan it?)
