Pammy Jo

Okay. Here's my quiz question:Stephen Daye set up the first British-American printing press in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1640, he published the first book ever printed in the colonies. Sotheby's Auction Company recently sold an original copy of the book for nearly 14 million dollars! Name the book.
