Getting lucky with Harry Potter
A Northamptonshire resident got lucky after purchasing a Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone first edition from a local library sale. The book was sold at Christies today for 4,000 pounds, but not without some amount of drama.
It turns out Christies had not checked the barcode on the book to see if the copy was really ex-library or if it was stolen. In the end a local just knew what to look at the library sale and netted a whack of dough for their efforts!
