This book is genuine. You can find a similar one on eBay (Item 190505353684) for $75. That one also has the red ink, the colored illuminations, and is hand-numbered.

I just noticed the edges of the pages in this book are golden colored like on the side opposite the spine, kind of like some bibles are. Very cool!

I know. I feel a little nervous parting with this, so I really hope people bid generously. This is a VERY RARE find.
