The book is 2' x 3'...big by any publishing standard...and it is being auctioned, perhaps bringing the bigegst price ever for a book. As much as $9.2 Million.
The Birds of America is rare, but not that rare. There are about 100 of the 1820's book by John James Audubon in existance.
Contact Sotheby's in London. And take your checkbook.

Here's a photo of the book.
