Rowling's expensive Fairy Tales

J.K. Rowling is now even more ridiculously wealthy. Her handwritten and illustrated book of fairy tales just sold for $4 million bucks! Holy hell!



I love Harry Potter and shit but damn is that a bit inflated. They had expected to only get 100K, guess they severely underestimated Pottermaniacs. Actually, it was Amazon.com who took the prize off Sotheby's hands. They plan to tour the book around libraries, which I suppose is slightly admirable. Now regular folks might take a peek at it, instead of it collecting dust in some fanatic's house.
