Rick Harrison was offered one of the most expensive books that'd ever been in the shop



Rick Harrison was offered one of the most expensive books that'd ever been in the shop: The Book of Mormon. The appraiser said, "Rick, this by far the most valuable book you've ever had me appraise ..." He concluded that the book was worth about $40,000 dollars.

According to rare book expert Rebecca Romney, the value of the book was directly related to the history of the troubled beginnings of the Mormon church. This specific book was worth more too because it was the final printed edition before the founder of the Mormon religion was killed.

Rick Harrison is the genius of Vegas Pawn Stars. He worked hard to get the concept of the show to tv and it has produced results no one could imagine! Each day about 4,000 people visit the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop on the Las Vegas Strip. No, it's not a sign of the recession.
