The Book Is The Highest Price Ever Paid For A Hardback First Edition Of Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone At Hansons Auction House, Derbyshire
Hansons book expert Jim Spencer remarked:
‘I’m absolutely thrilled the book achieved such an outstanding price for our vendor.I hoped it would make £50,000 but to see it sail past that to reach £60,000 was astonishing.
‘It’s the highest price ever paid at Hansons for a hardback first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It’s the fourth one I have found in just over a year. The first one, a former Staffordshire library book bought for £1, made £28,500. The hammer price has risen with every subsequent sale.’
