Lovely

There's a site up for Scholastic's upcoming illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, featuring over 100 illustrations by Jim Kay. If the nine "Special Preview" images featured on the site are a good representative sample, this book might actually be worth the jaw-dropping $39.99 cover price. (Well... almost. That's a lot of money. This book will undoubtedly be sold for far less online, so you might want to avoid buying it in a brick-and-mortar store unless A) you're independently wealthy, B) it's way on sale, or C) you have a particular wish to support the bookstore in question.)
