How much would you pay for a book that could save your life?

Ninety years ago, a small group of men were struggling to come up with the words that would go into a book that would save millions of lives and be anointed as one of the “88 Books that Shaped America” by the Library of Congress.

Here’s a link to the backstory of the manuscript that created “The Big Book,” which was recently bought at auction for nearly $2.4 million. Photo courtesy of Stepping Stones.
