    In all seriousness - can we crowd fund this purchase and make it immediately public?

      I can’t imagine anyone buying this without wanting to make it public. Like… what would be the point?

          You could also spend a lot of money for it to have power over the people who are in it.

        Unless maybe one of the rich and powerful people that knows they’re in that book wants to buy it and make sure it doesn’t go public.

        In addition to what other said for keeping themselves out of the public. For blackmail. Buy it and call up said rich person for a donation. Oh and by the way I got this book…

    What? Is this auction house going for the Boeing experience? I’d not want to be the designated auctioneer for this item.
