«Precious books are the best financial and cultural investment »

(Madame de Pompadour and Damascène Morgand.)

Study : Old books prices evolution compared to other investments:

The « Dow Jones » New York stock exchange indication.
The Real estate’s cost evolution in the USA from 1890.
The « napoléon » or « 20 F OR » coin.
The « ploughable earth hectare in Ile-de-France ».
The « Construction’s cost indication in France ».
The « real purchasing power in constant 2008 Euro ».

Realized thanks to the Banque Lazard’s help, this economic study is the first made about the evolution of the precious and old books’ real cost from the XIXth century to these days.
Due to its mid-term and long-term striking results, this study should call out bibliophile friends and sensible financiers, and develop interest for our « High Culture » books.
I invite you to find out about it and i’m available for any question.
