The reimagining of 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' from Jim's perspective in Percival Everett's 'James' adds a fresh narrative to a classic tale. Additionally, the allure of book ownership has led billionaires to pay millions for rare texts, such as Bill Gates' 'Codex Leicester' and Ken Griffin's first edition of the U.S. Constitution.
