No mystery about it -- Edgar Allan Poe's first book - a rare copy of the book sold at auction yesterday for a record $662,500.
"Tamerlane and Other Poems," published anonymously in 1827 -- when Poe was 18 -- went under the hammer at Christie's and set a record for 19th- century poetry books.
One of 12 copies in existence, the book went to an unidentified collector in the United States.
