Luxury literature

High-end publishing houses are attacking the luxury book market with novel extravagance. Publisher Kraken Opus mixed one pint of Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar’s  blood with paper pulp to create the signature page of a book celebrating the batsman’s career. The book’s pages will be edged with gold leaf and 10 special editions, to be published in February next year, have already sold for $75,000 (£48,000) a piece.
