He spent a lifetime collecting books he loved. And then Shakespeare sold for $70,000. πŸ“šβœ¨

The library of Stephen J. Farber β€” a bibliophile who hunted for books across the country alongside his wife Nancy β€” just went to auction at Freeman's. The result? A white-glove sale that proved vintage books are anything but dusty investments.

WorthPoint's Brenda Kelley Kim tells the story of the man, the collection, and what it's worth. πŸ‘‡

✨ Marks of the Week: Disneyland Double Feature 🏰

The word "Disneyland" β€” in use since 1955, instantly recognizable, and single-handedly responsible for more childhood meltdowns (the good kind) than any other word in the English language.

The text "Disneyland Park" in blue β€” the updated version introduced around 2000, because after 45 years they decided the word needed a little backup.

Two marks from the Happiest Place on Earth, Anaheim, California β€” where the magic started in 1955 and, honestly, never really stopped.
