15th-century Book of Hours is expected to fetch as much as $2.5 million when it goes to auction this April.

Wow, if that's what hours are expected to fetch, how much for the "Book of Days"?

According to the Medievalists.net, the highlight of the auction will be the Book of Hours, created around the year 1440...

Now just hold on a minute..
