thanksgiving1YASMX3EXL._SL500_AA240_harry-potter-half-blood_l1Was J.K. Rowling prowling used bookstores in New Jersey when she hatched her best-selling series? Howard Rose of Brier Rose Books in Teaneck, N.J., is selling a first-edition copy of Truman Capote’s 1967 book “The Thanksgiving Visitor,” autographed by the author in January 1978 “for Harry Potter with gratitude.” The book is for sale on AbeBooks.com, the used-book e-tailer whose Reading Copy Book Blog first reported the curiosity. The asking price: a whopping $1,000, well above the average for the title. (Other first editions of The Thanksgiving Visitor on AbeBooks run between $60-75, while the cheapest signed copy is on offer for $375.)
