Potter 1st Ed. £9000

Cover of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone (1997)Yesterday, Bonhams in London sold a first edition hardback copy of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone for £9000. Only 500 copies were printed in 1997, which doesn't show a great deal of confidence on the part of its publisher Bloomsbury. How things have changed! The final Harry Potter novel is due out on 21 July (CLICK). Is it only ten years since this phenomenon began? Unbelievable!
