Russian tycoons are the target readers for a diamond-encrusted book with an estimated value of £3m. British entrepreneur Roger Shashoua is offering a made-to-order edition of his new book Dancing With The Bear. 
One thing's for sure, it's not the brilliance of the diamonds that makes it hard to look at. Pretty tacky, low budget design for something that's supposed to show off millions of dollars in diamonds.. There's no accounting for taste these days. Shows that no amount of money can polish a turd.
The cover of each of the special "oligarch" copies, said to be the most expensive book in the world, features more than 600 flawless diamonds. The book is an account of how the author made £100m through business in post-Soviet Russia.
Mr Shashoua expects interest from wealthy Russian ex-pats _base_d in the UK. Source:
