A first edition of „Leaves of Grass,“ printed for the author, sold for $305,000.That was more than twice Christie’s estimate of $100,000 to $150,000, and it marked a world auction record for Whitman.

The previous record for a Walt Whitman book was $230,500, also for a copy of „Leaves of Grass.“ That one was sold by Sotheby’s in October 2011. / CNBC
