Wow. I wish I had the money to bid on some of these books!
From AbeBooks' blog : A record price for a Harry Potter
>>> http://www.abebooks.co.uk/blog/index...13/05/22/2581/
"Well done to English PEN for a successful charity book auction of annotated first editions last night. The sale raised £439,200 for English PEN’s campaigns for freedom of expression, reports the BBC.
A rare first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, with annotations and drawings by author JK Rowling, has sold for a record price. After a bidding war between two buyers the book sold for £150,000, a new record for a printed book by Rowling."

Signed copies here. Sold Out
J.K. Rowling has written a crime novel called The Cuckoo's Calling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Rowling is reported as saying to the Sunday Times of London, “I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience. It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name.”
The novel was published in April by Sphere in the UK - the same imprint at Little, Brown as her first fiction novel after Harry Potter, The Casual Vacancy. Set in London, it features a one-legged private detective called Cormoran Strike, who is hired to investigate the death of a supermodel called Lula Landry. The book's description on Amazon says "You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this."
Interesting.
At that price I'd expect Goldsboro to sell out pretty quickly now that the news is out.

Dammit 16.99 pounds for a signed book. Looks like this is one i won't be getting my hands on anytime soon
But would everyone value a Robert Galbraith autograph the same as a J.K. Rowling? I"m not a big fan of pseudonym-signed books.
Glad that I ordered when I did!And they are now out of stock.

It may depend on how she handles the book going forward. Will she keep signing them under the pseudonym, or just revert to her actual signature?
