J.K. Rowling - The Tales of Beedle the Bard
The book was originally produced in a limited edition of only seven copies, each handwritten and illustrated by J. K. Rowling and one of them was bought by Amazon.com, ( I found the images below from here too ). I think this is a great collectors item and looks really well made and valuable. After looking into value and handmade publications, i cant help but think that the value generated by this book is mostly due to the popularity of J.K. Rowling. I think the limited colour palette creates a more classy look and having a special box to house it, makes it seem more valuable, plus as you can see in the images, it is handled with gloves on! I think having something limited edition like this creates value and interest, so i would like to create a limited edition papercut of the front cover to go with the book in a specially made box.
