It's not signed by Rowling, John. Only signed by the illustrator.Originally Posted by jhanic
I'll be canceling my order. I should know that I shouldn't do things late at night (late for me, that is.)
<Edit> I changed my mind about canceling the order. That looks like a very interesting volume, and I want it anyway!

The way I figure - see how this edition looks and then I'll decide if I'll collect this set. If not I can see what its value will be online.
I do like it but skip anyway. I do not see the need for one more (colored/graphic) edition... But probably i change my mind when you post the first pics!
You can preorder an unsigned copy on Amazon for $22.44 - http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0...f_rd_i=desktop
I don't think the illustrator's signature adds much value.
Thanks @ ELa: now i ordered... damn, i really wanted to skip, but my hand was to fast!
Just received my copy of The Silkworm last week - now if I can only get a golden ticket in my first batch of books coming soon.
John
Me too. None of my orders have shown up yet.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Just got my first of two books ordered from Goldsboro - first book - box of demons....NO golden ticket...doh! Oh well - have one more book on the way - should behere this week so we will see.
However, the box of demons is a pretty cool little book - will have to read it with Caleb soon
Me either. I'm hoping the next one. Otherwise, gotta find a new book to order. There are some coming out Sept 1 that look interesting.
BTW - Mine looks double signed but I can't tell if it's just a printed signature. Can you tell?

you are correct - it is double signed - i think that was how the listing was written - signed by both riddell and wheelanMe either. I'm hoping the next one. Otherwise, gotta find a new book to order. There are some coming out Sept 1 that look interesting.

So I'm not a big Potter collector, but I saw this book and had to pick it up. It is filled with a wealth of information about all the Potter books published up to 2013. I think the original retail is something like $128 or some crazy amount. It is a 3rd printing (big deal), and I got it for $45 shipped from the UK.
Same seller has more for sale - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JK-Rowling...item28065424b8
I just ordered one.

Anyone going for this beauty??
I haven't pre-ordered it yet, but am very tempted.

GFor $200 seems a bit steep - especially not sure how it'll look or the quality of the illustrations. I'll just stick with the basic illustrated copy I ordered from Goldsboro - to see if I even like the edition and want to continue. Plus at least $1400 if they continue the entire series...
I'll pass. Sure, it looks nice, but I don't think any of these reprint gift special editions will hold any real value. How many different versions of the same book can you own? I guess it is like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. Some collectors will buy every edition that comes out. Whatever makes you happy.
My copy arrived today in perfect condition. Well worth the price.So I'm not a big Potter collector, but I saw this book and had to pick it up.

Wow - that didn't take long. This was posted to reddit and has already been taken. Reporting agencies really need to do their own homework.
Also should point out - the ravenclaw house colors are correct - but in the books the symbol for the house is an eagle not a raven.
$275 for seven fancy jackets on what look to be later printing books? Pass.
Looks like Juniper Books has lots of these sets - Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, etc.
