That is sooo cool, except we already heard the story. I want to see it on display. It's so precious that they wore gloves!...

Amazing!
I could have done with an alternate Fairy Tale, being that we already know about the Tale of the Three Brothers.
And I could have done without the "ohhs" and "awws" given by the hosts.
But still, that looks cool.
Too bad I don't have 60K+ to spend.

Absolutely amazing. I can't believe that they will no publish the book in a mass edition for those that would want it. It would raise a lot more for charity.

Wouldn't it raise just as much if she made it availible to the public? All those hp fans plus that special copy could raise [b]a LOT[b] of money.

that was cool, That they showed us a bit what the book looks like, cause for all of us except one lucky person that is all we will ever see. I could have however done without the dramatic "Ooohs" and "Awwwws" they were a bit annoying. Still though, that is pretty cool. :)

If only I had a lot of extra money I would bid on it. I would read it to my family and friends and probably wear gloves too, then I would display it in a fancy glass case.

Thats soo cool. They actually have to use gloves to handle the book. Thats just awesome. I can't wait to see how much the book goes for. The person who gets it will be one of the luckest people on earth. And if the book is well preserved, in 50 years it could be worth millions.

That book is really beautiful. Can't believe they actually needed gloves to handle it. I would surely purchase that book if I was rich enough to spend $100,000 on a book.
I'm still really disappointed that JK won't allow mass production versions of the book for her fans, knowing how bummed we all are about the series being over...
It's even worse that the book sounded really interesting, and we can't even read it. *is extremely jealous*
Well, I'm happy for whichever lucky person gets their hands on that book (and any of that person's relatives/associates who might also get to read it!) :)

Good clip, but it was a shame that we didn't hear about one of the other stories, as we knew of the Three Brothers story from DH. I would have to win the lottery in order to be able to buy that book though.

Wow gloves. XD I'd love to get my hands on the seventh one. If I had the money. Hehe. They could read any other story, but instead they chose Beetle the Bard.
