On the Raptis Rare Books website you can find precious old and rare books. And there is the possibility of searching for a book not only by title and author, but also by price. I therefore wanted to look for the most expensive books and two fantasy books emerged, recently adapted to the cinema. In reality the first is the complete seven-volume series of The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. The full price is $45,000 , but you can get it at a discount and pay just $40,500. This is the first edition and the books span from 1950 to 1956, published by publisher Geoffrey Bles of London.
The volume The Voyage of the Dawn Treader comes from the library of Walter Hooper, Lewis' literary executor, and Special Data bears her name on the first flyleaf. The volume The Silver Chair is instead signed by the illustrator who interpreted it, Pauline Baynes. The other is the first novel in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone . It was published by London-based Bloomsbury in 1997. Also in this case it is a first edition, in good condition and signed by the author, JK Rowling . Only 500 copies were printed of this first edition. The book is illustrated and was published without a dust jacket.
The price is the same, 45,000 dollars, but discounted only 40,500. A rare volume, without a doubt, and even more expensive, seven times more, than any single volume of the Lewis saga.Smiling, she dressed and went out.led the scent of freshly picked flowers and other fragrances that she couldn't recognize. She glimpsed the woman's form, motionless under her sheets. He caressed her face, which seemed strangely cold to him. He then tore off her dress, took off his trousers and penetrated her forcefully. The girl was terrified, the man thought, she didn't move or say a word.
