By interesting, what I really mean is 'bullshit'. Rowling's agent - Christopher Little - sold the book straight to Bloomsbury for an advance of £2,500 and they were the first to ever publish it.
However, I was wrong about the initial print run - which was only 500 copies. So yeah, if you were lucky enough to strike one of those, then you'd be doing well for yourself. However, those odds...like I say...scratchcards are still a better bet.
I no longer work in a 2nd hand bookshop. Funnily enough, there's fuck all money in books, first editions or no first editions.

Surely someone working in a second hand bookshop banging out the Lolz would have known that?
