In a glass case is one of only seven copies of JK Rowling's 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' book. This was shown in the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland December 3, 2008. The copy of 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' which Rowling presented to her first editor Edward Cunningham, is valued at over two million pounds ($2.95 million) and is due to go on display at the National Library of Edinburgh from 5th December.

J.K. Rowling wishes that if these few books earn millions of pounds, it will go to children's charities in Eastern Europe. Edinburgh by the way is the birthplace of Rowling. This new book is a collection of five fables mentioned in Rowling's saga about boy wizard Harry Potter. This will only be released in a few countries unlike Harry Potter that even got translated in a few languages. It's not creating that much buzz now but it is equally expensive. If you are a true Harry Potter fan and a collector, then this is your ambrosia. The professors of Hogwartz were even mentioned on one of the stories so do not miss this chance to get the origin of the Harry Potter books.

If it's J.K Rowling, I'm sure this won't be affected by any recession. Christmas time would probably boost sales once kid's know this would be out on Amazon for 50 pounds (100 Dollars) leather hard bound. Only 100,000 copies were made.

I watched CNN this morning and saw the attacks in Mumbai, India. I saw a lot of people dead... last count was 120 I think... and they are still holding some hostages. I know a couple of people in that city because of my work... and some of them are also my blogging friends. I together with other people are extremely worried. This is a true act of terror.

Muslim Militants thought to be tied to extremists outside of this country stormed railway systems, business establishments and now this hotel this Wednesday and Thursday in a so called coordinated attack against this country, their prime minister said.This is creepy, he's one of the terrorists who stormed the Taj Mahal Hotel. Look at his face OMG! O_O

World leaders are appalled by the said act and urged the government of India to take quick actions to stop this acts of terror throughout their country. I just hope this does not happen to yours or my neighborhood! I pray that everyone would be safe... and these terrorists be put to justice after these attacks. As of this writing they are still holding hostages inside the building and in different locations around India. Let us pray for them that they get through this.
