A student in England is selling his copy of a first edition Harry Potter book to pay his way through school, it was reported in the Telegraph web site.
Toby Rundle, a 19-year-old student at Oxford University, has a first-edition copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" which was released in 1997. There were only 500 copies of the book produced.
The original cost of the book was about 11 pounds. It is expected to fetch 15,000 pounds at auction.
The book will be sold at Dominic Winter auctioneers in South Cerney, Gloucestershire in England.
According to the Telegraph, Rundle received the book from his mother while he was at boarding school. He is working on a classics and English degree at Oxford.
