The first book by William Shakespeare, one of the world's greatest writers, poets and authors, has been auctioned off at a record price.
According to Reuters, William Shakespeare's book, written in 1623, sold for about کروڑ 10 million at the Christie's auction house in New York City.
Shakespeare's book, which sold for US 99 99.98 million, or more than 1.5 billion Pakistani rupees, is also known as The First Folio.
The First Folio was compiled and published seven years after William Shakespeare's death by his writing friends John Hemings and Henry Condell.

William Shakespeare's first book published 18 stories, including his most popular play, Julius Caesar, which had never been published before, and if the book did not contain those stories, the world would be deprived of masterpieces.
Before William Shakespeare's best-selling book, another of his books was auctioned off in 2001 for a record یعنی 6.5 million, but now his book has sold for a record price.

The book was sold by a college in California, USA, in the early 19th century, and has been preserved by the college administration ever since.
