Today's Random Fact:

On Oct. 22, 1987 a Japanese buyer, Eiichi Kobayashi, purchased the Old Testament portion of a Gutenberg Bible for $5.4 million dollars at a Christie's Auction. The last sale of a complete version took place nine years before, again at a Christie's, for $2.2 million. Today, single pages from the first-edition Bibles fetch $25,000 each.



Bonus Fact:

In addition to providing their well-known Bibles in hotel rooms, the Gideons also distribute Bibles to militaries of various countries, to hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons.
