Willows £1 shop

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. These are really extremely tatty.

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