Under the hammer of Christie's auction rooms in New York was a rare copy of Edgar Allan Poe's first book, which sold for a record $662,500.
It was the highest price ever paid for a 19th Century book of poetry, auctioneers said.
Only 12 copies of the 40-page volume Tamerlane and Other Poems, published in 1827, are known to exist.
