In my local currency, of course.

or, $250.

I'm a broke student but I have an ok-ish paying job as a content writer that I've recently started. Currently, I have 3K...so it'll take me time.

I found a copy on a site and honestly I'm confused...You see, I have very fond memories of HL2.. The HL series was what once got me into gaming, and the amazing soul who introduced me to the game (and therefore in a way got me into gaming) is no more. It's been years....

So I don't know. Practically speaking, I was planning to save for a bomb phone...I'm aware that between the book and the phone, only one has any real life practical usage. Sigh.

I could find a pdf for the book...but :( I wouldn't really "feel" it, you know?

Input appreciated.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

The book was originally produced in a limited edition of only seven copies, each handwritten and illustrated by J. K. Rowling. One of them was offered for auction through Sotheby's in late 2007 and was expected to sell for £50,000 (US$77,000, €69,000); ultimately it was bought for £1.95 million ($3 million, €2.7 million) by Amazon, making the selling price the highest achieved at auction for a modern literary manuscript.

Interesting, I'll have to figure out what the International Shipping costs will be.
