Wealthy fans who fork out for cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar's new biography will find it a bloody good read.
The £49,000 Tendulkar Opus features a red signature page made of a sample of the Indian star's blood mixed with paper resin - which he says is "mind blowing".
The book, of which only 10 pre-ordered copies have been made, weighs in at 80lb and features more than 1,500 pictures from his 30,000-run career.
Each of the 852 pages is edged in gold including a gatefold which unravels to show the 37-year-old batsman's DNA profile taken from a saliva sample.
Publisher Karl Fowler said: "What you'll be looking at is his genetic makeup. Some may think it's weird but to millions he is a religious icon."
More copies of the book - minus the blood - will also go on sale at £1,500.
