Roddy Newland, of Bloomsbury, said: “No one has ever amassed such a collection of international editions. There’s no auction precedent for it.”

Ohmygosh!
he's se4lling it? after all those years of collecting? If I were him, I wouldn't. That's got to be a huge collector's item! maybe just open a mini-display or something. but yeah, that's just me. | |

you know what sucks i have a first edition of HPatSS and because I didn't realize the value it would have when I was like 8, it's completely trashed! pages falling out and everything! makes me quite sad in fact. but I can't believe he is selling his collection! why would anyone do such a thing??? | |
