The Week in Pictures: April 6 – April 12, 2013 (93 Photos)

Sotheby's describes the Bay Psalm Book, which is the first book ever printed in what is now the United State, as “the world’s most valuable book”, on April 11, 2013. Shortly after arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1620, the Separatist Congregationalist Pilgrims set about to translate and produce a version of the Book of Psalms that was a closer paraphrase of the Hebrew original than the one they had carried from England. The first edition of the resulting Bay Psalm Book was printed in Cambridge, Mass. in 1640. Its estimated value is $15/30 million. (Photo by Sotheby's)
