Today is Sergio's birthday. Happy Birthday, Sergio. I was thinking of getting you this as a gift.
It's a rare copy of our favorite book, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. This, the most sought-after printing of the classic work was published in 1880 with illustrations by Ricardo Balaca and magnificent hand binding in the finest leather. The opening bid on it is $4,800. It might go even higher than that but I figured nothing is too good for my best (male) friend. So I decided to buy it for you at any price…
…but then I changed my mind. I figured you'd probably just draw tiny cartoons in the margins.
