Post First edition inscribed Chamber of Secrets expected to fetch thousands

A first edition inscribed and signed copy of Chamber of Secrets is expected to fetch thousands at auction, next week. The personal message inside reads;

Quote:
‘To Emily, I am very flattered to hear how much you liked Harry one – hope this one doesn’t disappoint, JK Rowling’.
Photos may be found here and here;









Quote:
Alex Dove, books expert at Lyon & Turnbull said that the special message made all the difference to the book’s worth at the sale on 16 September.

She said: “We sell Harry Potter volumes quite frequently and they vary from very good unsigned copies to signed collections.

“However, the signed ones are not as rare as the ones that are personally inscribed by JK Rowling – which are much more unusual.

“This one has a really lovely inscription and because it’s the second book rather than one of the later editions when she was famous, that makes it more unusual as well.

“It would be a nice one to buy because it is an immaculate copy, and because of the inscription.

“We have quite abroad bidding base so we expect to get interest from around the world.”
Quote:
Emily cherished the book for eleven years, before deciding to sell it on to another die-hard fan.

She said: “I didn’t actually meet her myself, years ago an auntie of mine worked in a book store and she managed to get an autograph from JK Rowling.

“It must have been 1998, if that’s when the book came it out.

“It must have been because it was only her second work, before she was really famous – it was incredibly lucky that she was there and was kind enough to sign it.

“It’s obviously quite sentimental, I’ve had the book for a while now – but it think it’s time for someone else to have it.

“I’ve just seen the new film and I’ve always been a big fan since the first book.

“I haven’t be lucky enough to meet her – I’d like to meet her just to say thank you.”

She wants the money. I think even I'd sell it for thousands if it meant I could pay for my car or uni or something.

Actually a lot of people would want it. Most wouldn't care who it was signed for. The fact that it was personally signed by the author herself is the real draw. If I had the money, I'd sure as heck throw in for it.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

hmm if i had that book i wouldn't have sold it nuhuh but it is her decision.

Also, i hope the book goes to a FAN .. not some kid who isn't a fan but has rich parents that only buy the book because they have nothing else to do with their money

Awww, Its lovely that she wants to sell it onto another fan The only thing that would make me like this woman more would be if she gave some of the money she gets from it to a charity, even if its only a diddy amount of money.

I would never sell somehting like that, esp. if it was addressed to me. Plus, who would want a book that was autographed for someone else? But it's cool that it's worth tons of money!

I have no idea why anyone would ever want to sell such a wondrous gift.

I would never sell an HP book that WASN'T signed, yet alone a PERSONALLY SIGNED COPY! Oh, well. I'm sure she'll get quite a bundle from it!

I wouldn't really want a book that was signed to someone else, it'd just be wierd, as if the book didn't really belong to me...

I'd love for JKR to sign a book especially to me... But I don't think I'd want one that was sighed to someone else... :S

Omg! I want it!! I would spend thousands of dollars to have that book...too bad I'm a college student on a budget.

It makes absolutely NO SENSE for that person to sale it. How dumb can you get?!
