No, it’s not one that turns the pages by itself so you can keep both hands wrapped around that hot mug of coffee as you read, but it is pretty amazing nonetheless. The book is about the life and work of Michelangelo and was created using techniques dating back to the Renaissance.

The cover is actually made of marble! It was donated to the library by an Italian publisher, but if you have $100,000 lying around, you too can be a proud owner of this work. Check out more in this AP article, including more pictures of an incredible new book on art that is a work of art in its own right.
