Wow! This man went far to fake a collection book. Thankfully You and Adam are there to authenticate the book and the buyers were able to get their money back. That is really rare to happen. Usually the seller disappears.

Yay!!! I love and miss your informative book videos! I know they don't get you as many views as your mystery wand unboxings etc. but it's nice to see you go back to your roots 🥰 plus it's always so fun to learn more about Harry Potter books.

Peter, NEVER apologize for "talking too much" about your incredible depth and breadth of knowledge, that you so generously share with us!

[kewpiewoodrum]

Thank you for posting this video. I definitely learned a lot regarding the book. What to look for in figuring out what editions I have. I hope there will be further videos on other HP books & merchandise. I need to be versed on what I’m buying & what to look for before making a purchase. Greatly appreciate taking the time to share your knowledge & expertise about the world of HP. There are so many items I would like to purchase, but not too familiar with what I need to be aware of in collecting HP. I’m late to the HP collecting world. Thank you again for your time.

Wow very informative now I know what you out for thank you Peter for always looking out for us

[theMermaidRhonda]

That is some crazy stuff! Glad you were able to help everyone get their money back.

[dwoodw]

Hopefully with this video no other collector will be scammed out of money. You and Adam are wonderful.

[shamancarmichael]

An important message for collectors! I'm also glad that things worked out so that you could retain the legitimate rare copy. If anyone deserves to own it, it is you Peter!

[wendyjones]

Well let us just say that as much as I love Harry Potter and JK Rowling .. Paying 12, 000 dollars for modern book is obscene,

[erinfuller]

This was so interesting and I feel like I learned so much. Genuine question: with books like this, or just any rare Harry Potter book, how do you even find them for sale? I know that if rare books are rare that means you don't see them come up often, but if they did, where would they be listed? I can't imagine listing something like that on eBay.

Now I’m desperately seeking the holy grail Harry Potter (hardcover, first print). With that book, my collection would be complete

[philipholder]

I know it's a rare book. But who can afford to drop that much on a book?

[laurfincher]

If the books were a gift to the students... why is there a school stamp?

"Oh, someone must've broken into my home, made this very specific modification to my valuables, and then vanished without leaving a trace!"

[kellyokrepkie]

I’m so happy you made this clip. It’s so important for us collectors to learn from each other and become educated if we are to collect signed books. Thank you so much!

My son was born at the beginning of 97. I went into Waterstones looking for a book series i could read to him. There was this new book that had just comr out called harry potter, the book i picked up had a green hardback cover with a gold quill sigining the name j.k.rowling on the front and it cost £10. I read a little a saw witches and wizards a decided it would be too scarey for toddler so i didn't buy it. I kick myself all the time.

[J.amminn]

I loveee Harry Potter and Hogwarts <3

[belleetlabete]

I had never heard about that visit and signing she did. Very interesting.

[nedf]

It never ceases to amaze me what people will do for money.

[PurpleReign]

I really hope the original scam dealer was arrested for fraud.
