AbeBooks' Top 10 Most Expensive Sales in July 2012

Don Quixote illustrated by Salvador DaliAbeBooks' Top 10 Most Expensive Sales in July 2012: Last month’s top sale on AbeBooks was for a rare first edition of Mexico’s first national atlas. Bound in three-quarter leather, the 1858 atlas contains 31 lithographed maps with hand coloring. It is a handsome atlas, with the middle of each double-page spread occupied by a map of a specific state or territory, surrounded by statistical and historical information about the region, including Native American tribes and the American/Mexican borderlands.
