Willows £1 shop

2 Attachment(s)

I've got two Harry Potter paperbacks. As you can see from the photos they are not in the best of conditions. They are the "adult" versions, which means they have a very understated cover illustration in moody monochrome.

All proceeds going to my Maundy Relief fund.

They were supposed to be for adults who didn't want to be seen reading a children's novel.

Well that eBay auction has no bids so far and looks in pristine condition.:D These are really extremely tatty.

Re: Willows £1 shop

I have no idea Mani, they just indent the surface, they don't show through on the inner side of the cover.
