Amazon Wins Auction for The Tales of Beedle the Bard for $4 million
The top bidder in the auction for the seventh handwritten copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard has been announced. It’s Amazon.com! Amazon has always been one of my favorite companies and web sites (I do all my online shopping there, if I can help it), but this makes them even more awesome. Not only are they going to take the book on tour so that everyone can get a chance to see it, they are posting copious amounts of information on their web site. It’s so amazing that Amazon has chosen to share this with so many Potter fans. Thanks Amazon.
Check out the Amazon page for The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and make sure to check back, as Amazon is promising to post additional information, pictures and more.

If Amazon comes to the Baltimore-DC area with it, you can bet we’ll be having an event there.
