Show Rare Book There are estimated to be only about 45 Gutenberg Bibles in the world and in 18S4 one sold for $15,000. At that time, many of the books were privately owned. Today, with' most of the Bibles permanently retired to museums and thus off the market, the price should be higher. The Gutenberg Bible is valuable not for its scarcity alone. It is a curiosity because authorities aren't even sure Johann Gutenberg Guten-berg printed it. In fact, some experts ex-perts claim the Fifteenth century German wasn't a printer at all!
