What can be found in New York trash
From the author: I'll tell you an amazing story, which I witnessed today has become. So that there is a witness - participated directly. So New York, Manhattan, Upper East Side (one of the most expensive and prestigious areas of the city). One of my friend who lives nearby, decides in the morning go to the store to buy milk and bread. It turns out, then, from his apartment building, goes and sees a few blocks away trash, standing alone at one of the expensive mansions. He would have passed as they did thousands of other people, if not for one thing. Open container (usually closed tarpaulin or film), and the top, mixed with snow and trash bags, books lie. Lots of books. And then he decides to delve into them.
Found that in the container are not only books, but also construction debris, furniture and bags of things. All this filled up with a thick layer of snow. Apparently, it is there for more than a day.
Typing box of books and different garbage he goes home, where he began to scrutinize found. Among the pile of books is one on the cover that says Michel de Montaigne, Essays. Special Edition, 1947. Illustration of "the famous American artist" Salvador Dali.
The book is in almost perfect condition, and the inside is really illustration Dali.
On the first page is found the inscription: This edition is limited to 1000 copies and signed by the artist. This copy is number 950.And under this original signature of the Dali made a fountain pen.
Search in Google yields the following result is exactly the same book under the number 503 and an autographed Dali sold for 1525 dollars. Can you imagine! It is clear that here the price certainly overstated and that such money is not quickly sell the book, but it is nevertheless clear that it is quite expensive and rare edition. I think that 500 dollars for her to leave flight. I do not know what he will now do with it, but find amazing. If suddenly whom this book is interesting - write. I forwarded proposals to the new owner.
