Tales of Beedle the Bard

[josiefiend]

Amazon purchased J.K. Rowling’s The Tales of Beedle the Bard at Sotheby’s for a whopping £1,950,000. That's $3.8 million to us Yanks. Rowling is donating the proceeds to a charity she co-founded to help improve the lives of institutionalized children across Europe. Neat.

Best of all ... Amazon posted lots of pics of the book and story reviews here

So, that's what a $4M book looks like. Kinda cool, really.

I didn't know Amazon bought it, but hearing it makes perfect sense. After all, how much money have they made moving Harry Potter books themselves?

Thanks for the link!

I only hope they somehow are able to make those stories available to us! Maybe they'll create a PDF version that we can purchase for download so they can recoup some of that cash ;)

I hadn't heard the update on this in some time, thanks. I wonder if a "public version" will ever be released.

I sure hope so. I'd love to read those stories. From the synopsis in the Amazon reviews they sound pretty cool!
