It's all a matter of perspective

I just saw something on the news about an auction for the first hymnal published in the US that is expected to sell for $30 million. So the next time any of you super collectors out there start thinking that maybe you are spending a bit too much on records, even if you spend $3000 for one 45, that is .01% of what this hymnal will go for.

Presumably this Hymnal is of New England region origin?

If so, here's another early publication from the area, if not the era, that might likely give it a run in the scarcity stakes--->
