dc.descriptionAudubon's "Birds of America" has a very special significance for the University of Michigan Library. In 1839, it was the first book purchased for the collection and cost $970, quite an act of faith for a new university which had yet to hold its first class or erect its first building! Today, millions of volumes later, "Birds of America" remains the single most valuable printed book in the University Library's collection. With "Homage to Audubon," Special Collections highlights this text as well as other notable bird books acquired by the Library in the ensuing years.
