Beedle the Bard

The latest book from J.K. Rowling, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, comes out on December 4. Albus Dumbledore left this collection of five fairy tales to Hermione Granger in his will. This edition includes commentary and footnotes from Dumbledore. Originally there were only seven handmade editions of this book, illustrated by Rowling and decorated with silver and jewels. Six of them were given as thank-you gifts to people closely associated with the Harry Potter series. The seventh was auctioned off to benefit the charity, The Children's Voice. That copy was purchased by Amazon.com for $3.98 million. Checkout some pictures of it here.
