A complete Audubon set came on the market a couple of years ago and they said it was bound to be broken up into plates because nobody could afford it otherwise. Damn it.
My college has a double-elephant folio of Volume I (they didn't pay for it, so never got volume II) and it is kept in a large case with pages turned regularly. Awe-inspiring, and I mean that literally.
