Signed Potter books for sale at auction

A complete set of all seven Harry Potter books — signed by the author, no less — will be available to a lucky auction winner this summer. This news topped the front page on a great Pottery Website called WizardNews.
The goal of the auction is to raise money for the National Literary Trust in Britain. Also — and this is hard to grasp — it is meant to “enhance the appreciation of J.K. Rowling’s novels as works of literature in her home country,” according to a release today.
Accio UK announced today that J.K. Rowling has indeed passed along a copy of each of seven adult edition Harry Potter books and has autographed them as well. The first six books will be auctioned off at a July 2008 Accio conference for academics and adult Potter fans in Oxford, England. The winner of the seventh book will be chosen by a raffle ticket. The proceeds will go to the British National Literacy Trust.
