Published: March 10, 2009
DALLAS - A softcover copy of the first Harry Potter book has sold for just over $19,000, according to a Dallas auction house.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was one of only 200 copies from the first printing issued with illustrated wrappers by London publisher Bloomsbury. The 1997 work includes an illustrated card signed by author J. K. Rowling.
The winning bid of $19,120 was nearly double the previous record for a softcover Harry Potter book, Heritage Auction Galleries says.
