Worlds most expensive book studded with 600 diamonds

A British entrepreneur is offering a made-to-order edition of his diamond-encrusted book for a whopping 3 million pounds.

London, August 26 : A British entrepreneur is offering a made-to-order edition of his diamond-encrusted book for a whopping 3 million pounds.

Roger Shashoua, voted one of Europe's top 500 entrepreneurs, has added over 600 flawless diamonds to the cover of his book, 'Dancing With The Bear'.

The 'oligarch cover' makes it the world's most expensive book.

Russian tycoons are the target readers for the diamond-encrusted book.

Shashoua, who has described how he made a fortune of 100m-pounds through business in post-Soviet Russia in the book, hopes the concept might be adopted by Russian ex-pats in London.

"There is so much money floating around in Russia that it seemed entirely logical to produce a book designed for the Russian market," the BBC quoted Shashoua, as saying.

"I am just happy that conspicuous displays of consumption can now be associated with writing, rather than fashion accessories. I can only hope that oligarchs will read the book, rather than just keeping it locked away," he added.
