About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

About this book
It is considered a high point of Victorian literature and is extremely collectible, not only in its first appearance but in many of its editions.
A true first edition of Rubaiyat, published by Bernard Quaritch in London, 1859 is not commonly seen and can fetch upwards of $40,000-50,000 on the open market. However, as earlier noted, many editions are also prized and often may be more accessible to collectors. For example, the Hodder & Stoughton edition printed in 1909 with illustrations from Edmund Dulac can often be found for $1500-2000.
More information on collecting editions of Rubaiyat can be found on our blog.
