My dad bought the first edition hardcover of Magician by Feist and I saw on the Internet that it was worth 200-300$. Is that true? How many books have collectionner value??

[Qin]

Apparently the first edition of Eye of the World is worth $600 or so. Sick I tell you, sick.

[ChrisW]

What's sick is the amount people will pay for a first edition Harry Potter book!

[Qin]

That I can actually understand, since I'm rather partial towards Rowlings.

[Alucard]

Eye of the world? $600? Egad! I was upset that I paid $7. I was also pissed that I had bought the next three, but I enjoyed those, so I wasn't upset afterwards.

But I did buy all the Harry Potter books in hardback, so I'm just as big of a dork as Qin.

[Qin]

Actually, I only own the British version of The Chamber of Secrets. The rest I've had to borrow from friends, thus, I've only paid about...$6 for one Harry Potter book.

[Alucard]

Then you are not nearly the dork that I am! Bow down while I push my spectacles back onto the bridge of my nose and scoff and snort in feelings of superficial superiority!

Ahem.

Qin is trying to reinvent himself yes? :)

[Alucard]

You misquoted me there, Bond. That was Caldazar who said that.

And now for the random meaningless quote.

I liked her (Rowling's) writing style, and I enjoy literature that involves characters who're enjoyable to read, moral lessons that aren't as subtle as a jackhammer, and plots that are in constant motion. And Harry Potter is a colourful fantasy series, and one that I've enjoyed from Page 1.
