I dunno where to put this, we have no Books section.

designed to evoke the spirit of the handcrafted original. It is housed in its own case (made to resemble a wizarding textbook found in the Hogwarts library). The Collector's Edition includes a reproduction of J.K. Rowling's handwritten introduction, as well as 10 additional illustrations not found in the Standard Edition. Opening the cover of the case reveals a velvet bag embroidered with J.K. Rowling's signature, in which sits the piece de resistance: your very own copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, complete with metal skull, corners, and clasp; replica gemstones; and emerald ribbon.

Amazon are the only place to get this (they bid £1.9 million for the original) and its limited to 100,000 world wide, with all proceeds going to charity. If you are a big harry potter fan, this is a must have. I am guessing that these will never devalue and will possibly go up if you ebay it so it might even be worth investing in. Or it will make someone's Christmas.

But if not, the regular ediition is £3.49!

I am tempted but its £50 !!!

I cancelled my pre-order yesterday. Was going to get it as a gift for someone but most people I quizzed in my family were apathetic about it. Sod 'em then!
