MIllion dollar book?

A British publisher known for art-heavy (and just plain heavy) books has announced plans for an edition on wine -- with a price tag of more than $1 million.

"The Wine Opus," a hefty 850 pages and more than 55 inches square, will feature a list of the 100 best wineries in the world. And besides being a limited edition of 100, it will come with a nice sweetener: Purchasers will receive six bottles of wine from every winery listed.

"Whoever buys the books will instantly have an incredible wine collection. Some wineries we expect to be included have waiting lists of 16,000 people for some wines," Karl Fowler of Opus Media told the London Evening Standard. Publisher Kraken Opus is known for luxurious works whose weight approaches 100 pounds, and subjects include the Super Bowl, the Machester United soccer team and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. It has also launched a book on Michael Jackson.

This is one book that won't be available for $9.99 on the Kindle. I think I'll wait until "The Wine Opus" hits the clearance bins -- I can probably steal it for $300,000.
