I am sure that y'all heard that there will be an official bibliography?
J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography, by Bloomsbury Academic... which will be sold $120 and will be written
>>> http://www.hypable.com/2014/04/04/jk...hy-bloomsbury/
“This is the definitive bibliography of the writings of J.K. Rowling. In addition to complete bibliographic details of all her books, pamphlets, original contributions to published works and broadcasts, there is detailed information on Rowling at auction, on significant reviews and on scholarly work on Rowling. This will be the first source on Rowling consulted by textual scholars, book collectors, auction houses, critics and researchers. The aim of the book is to record fact and dispel rumour on the fascinating publishing history of the Harry Potter series.”
Here is a message from the writer of : THE HARRY POTTER JOURNEY
Update about The Harry Potter Journey
It has been a few months since The Harry Potter Journey has been published. I hope you liked it and enjoyed.
The reviews I read were very positives. I'd like to know what do you think about the book.
I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I've been working in the next installments of The Harry Potter Journey. I've been talking with readers of the first edition, asking what they liked, about what they wanted to know more, and I am trying to include all the feedback in this new volume.
The bad news is a little more complicated. Although I already knew it a few weeks ago, Bloomsbury (the UK publishers) has announced recently they are going to publish "J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography".
In their own words, "This is the definitive bibliography of the writings of J. K. Rowling. In addition to complete bibliographic details of all her books, pamphlets, original contributions to published works and broadcasts, there is detailed information on Rowling at auction, on significant reviews and on scholarly work on Rowling. This will be the first source on Rowling consulted by textual scholars, book collectors, auction houses, critics and researchers. The aim of the book is to record fact and dispel rumour on the fascinating publishing history of the Harry Potter series."
I know they started to work on this early after they approve The Harry Potter Journey. It seems they wasn't happy with an unofficial Bibliography (even a unofficial bibliography they censured), and wanted to have their own material - where they will be able to tell what they think is appropriate.
Giving the circumstances, we are doubting in following with The Harry Potter Journey. We clearly can't compete with an official source, and more over: Bloomsbury right now sees us as competence.
However, we will wait until we read this new book by Philip Errington (the one who sold The Tales of Beedle the Bard manuscript at Sotheby's).
After that, we will made a decision and we will share it with you. We want to have your support on this. Please, feel free to reply to this email with your thoughts on this case.
Thank you again, for everything.

$120 seems awful expensive.

Goldsboro Books is having a competition of sorts for signed copies of The Silkworm. It is open to everyone, and they said on their their twitter they will make arrangements if an overseas buyer wins.

Did anyone pick up a book today at Goldsboro? Don't forget to add Strike It Lucky in the comments.
Does anyone have recommendations of their in stock books?
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
The first Strike it Lucky appeared:
https://twitter.com/bookaholic77/sta...38889456676864
It went to a girl from Twitter, who "rarely" was/is followed by the people from Goldsboro Books, the official Goldsboro Books and CrimeVault - but she only has a few followers, which means she isn't popular. If you look at her blog, she reviewed all the books that Goldsboro Books has been lately announced ... am I a bad person for thinking bad in this case?
Hmmm... interesting. I've ordered 2 books so far and I'm ordering another this week. I really hope they aren't cherry picking the winnersI was hoping it was a random thing.

They didn't announce how many golden tickets are out there...
No they didn't... I was assuming 250 but it could be 10.

So do you JK collectors value a signature by "Robert Galbraith" as valuable as one by "JK Rowling"? Just curious.
I think the Robert Galbraith might be considered more valuable. I'm not sure if she is signing like that anymore since her cover was blown.

They did offer copies to people they consider valued customers. My feeling is there will be more signed copies of Silkworm than Cuckoos Calling, of which there were a reported 200ish copies signed. I'd say around 250-300.No they didn't... I was assuming 250 but it could be 10.
I think the Galbraith sig will be more sought after if she doesn't sign the Silkworm as the pseudonym. For all we know these will be the only cuckoos calling copies that get signed, which will keep the price high for a Rowling collector. Additionally she said that future signatures will have the Rowling certification sticker.
Any one else ever pick up one of these? I got this when it was released in 2008 at a Harry Potter Exhibit at the Field Museum in Chicago. Its a pretty nice production actually.
