Admit it, you were crushed when Amazon flexed it's checkbook and knocked you out of the running for Christy's Auction of the handmade J.K. Rowling book - Tales of Beedle the Bard and paid a whopping 3.98 Million for the book. ***s!!
But they have redeemed themselves. In conjuction with the commercial release of the book, Amazon is releasing an exclusive - a collectors reproduction of the handmade book they purchased! It can be yours for much less than 3.98 Million, only a paltry 100 spot. Go check it out, drool and get them before they are gone. Amazon will produce up to a whopping 100,000 copies but considering Harry Potter has sold 300 Million copies worldwide, I suspect these will be long gone before it even arrives December 4th. I would be amused if it survives the weekend. Oh wait, I know for a fact there are only 99,996 left. And I am thinking about gambling on another! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0956010903/ J K Rowling says: “There was understandable disappointment among Harry Potter fans when only one copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard was offered to the public last December. I am therefore delighted to announce that, thanks to the generous support of Bloomsbury, Scholastic and Amazon (who bought the handwritten copy at auction) – and with the blessing of the wonderful people who own the other six original books - The Tales of Beedle the Bard will now be widely available to all Harry Potter fans. Royalties will be donated to the Children’s High Level Group, to benefit institutionalised children in desperate need of a voice. The new edition will include the Tales themselves, translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger, and with illustrations by me, but also notes by Professor Albus Dumbledore, which appear by generous permission of the Hogwarts Headmasters’ Archive.” Containing clues that were to prove crucial to Harry Potter’s final mission to destroy Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes, The Tales of Beedle the Bard is the volume of five wizarding fairy tales left to Hermione Granger by Albus Dumbledore in the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Only one – The Tale of the Three Brothers – is recounted in the book. In The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the four remaining stories are revealed for the very first time.
