| | |  First look at printed HBP
The Sun today published pictures of the copy of ' Half-Blood Prince' that they were shown when two thieves tried to sell the novel to them for several thousand pounds.
In the third picture especially, we get a clear view of the size of HBP.
A scan of the article can be seen here.

This is the UK ADULT cover. It's an old picture of JK in a library. It probably won't be on the US or UK childs covers.
The size looks fantastic! After all, it is only just over 100 pages shorter, which isn't much when you consider that it's 608 pages long (UK edition).

Was JK on the back of the UK Adult OotP, Kaz? The Sun reporter didn't read it; it was never handed over to them. Gun shots went off and the books were taken and secured by Police as evidence.

So the repetition of JK's picture is supicious, Kaz? The Sun was checking it was genuine, so says the caption. I doubt he'd have read much with a gun being present and all.

The adult paperbacks do not have her picture.

I'm still very eager to know if it really is the HBP book and not some weird fake copy...
Gah!!! My hands are itching!

Cool, I see.  I guess it depends on what printing you have if her picture is on the back or not.

Oh, man! Those pictures make me want it even more! I don't know...just to see it in someone's hands makes it seem like it's coming so much sooner.
