I agree. It should stay in England. Or at least stay in Her Majesty’s realms.
Would you be upset if it ended up in a former colony?
I’m okay with the price being that low, but only because I think the Crown should buy it, and I’m all good with them getting it WITHOUT the British taxpayer being raped anymore than necessary.
It’s 1st Edition British history. It should stay where it will be properly respected.
