What is the Worlds most valuable book?

Answer 1

That is a matter of opinion. Most religions would say their holy book is the most important (Bible, Koran, etc.) But in different fields different books could be considered the most important. In physics Newton's books may be considered the most important. In Biology Darwin's On The Origin of Species may be the most important.
