If you can't make the Christie's sale, elsewhere a signed copy of one of the greatest photography books ever released is also for sale on the collectors' market.
Today, Yousuf Karsh, the Canadian-Armenian photographer, is recognised as the one the greatest portrait photographers of all time.
His photograph's subjects read like a definitive hall of fame: Ernest Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Audrey Hepburn, Pablo Picasso, JFK and Winston Churchill.
A signed copy of Karsh a Fifty-Year Retrospective, autographed by the artist himself, is currently held up Paul Fraser Collectibles and up for sale priced £595 ($980).
