A book "Birds of America" by the naturalist and painter J. J. Audubon recently sold for over 10 million dollars. You can download the pdf for free from google here. It gives you a great book experience complete with the imprints of other pages on the first pages. If you just want to take a peek, you can do so here.
I was going to say that it's as close as you'll ever get to seeing a passenger pigeon or Carolina parakeet, but neither of them are in this book.
