Reading Copy Book Blog

You probably think you’ve seen everything Harry Potter-related? Well, AbeBooks.com has a totally unique Harry Potter bookshelf (pictured) built entirely from actual Harry Potter books by an incredibly talented sculptor who specialises in book art….and we’re giving it away.

But here’s the catch - we’ll give it away to the person who comes up with finest poem devoted to Harry Potter and the whole Hogwarts phenomenon. We’re launching the contest today and you’ve got plenty of time to work on your Potter Poetry - the contest closes on July 6 and is open to anyone. You can submit any sort of poem - a limerick, an elegy, a sonnet. Just be creative - AbeBooks staff are judging the poems so make us smile.

For instance, this poem isn’t going to win….

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Is Harry dead?

The ending’s taboo.

We’re also got a fascinating interview with Jim Rosenau, the sculptor who was commissioned by AbeBooks to create this unique piece of art that’s also a functional item of furniture. Find out more about Jim and his work here.

Good luck.
