A rare Harry Potter book which survived a Glasgow tenement fire could be worth £12k.
One of the rarest Harry Potter books ever published which has survived a fire could fetch up to £12,000 at auction.
She has had the book ever since and, despite the Glasgow tenement she lived in being devastated by a fire earlier this year, the 'pristine' copy survived and it is ready to go under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers' library Auction. “The ground floor of the building and stairwell were badly damaged but my flat, which was on the second floor, wasn't affected - including the cupboard where the book was stored.”
Experts at Hansons believe the book will fetch somewhere between £8000 and £12,000 when it goes under the hammer on September 5. “In fact, until last year, the public had no idea what this book even looked like because there was no visual record of its existence online. "The market is flooded with convincing forgeries of Rowling's signature, so this is a golden opportunity to buy a signed book with absolute confidence in its authenticity."
