They take up a lot of lap space, and I feel like I’m handling a precious artifact as I try not to smudge the pages. Let me first tell you the downside (besides price): they are too hefty and pretty to carry around with you. I also, upon perusing the first one in a book store way back, was not that thrilled with the illustrations themselves. Actually, at around $40 a piece and cheaper in a set and at many places (I paid more like $25 for my fourth one), they’re not more expensive than they should be: they’re enormous things (and I wonder what books five and seven will be like!), on thick, glossy paper, and colorful throughout, the illustrations extending to the very tips of the pages. Not that they are expensive for money’s sake. But so are many other picture books, just not as expensive. They seemed more like a collector’s item, and they are, because they are expensive and pieces of art as much as of literature. Honestly, I didn’t expect to like them very much.
ILLUSTRATED HARRY POTTER BOOK 1 SERIES
And now I wait impatiently for the rest of the illustrated series to release, oh-so-slowly. As the fourth one is now available, I ordered that one and read it too before moving on to my old paperback copies to finish off the series for the year. It’s the fall! I pulled the books back down and started reading them, gingerly. Why? Because I read Harry Potter in the fall? Yeah, basically. And my husband and kids got them for me and they were so beautiful under the Christmas tree and then I looked through them, so carefully, and then put them on the shelf. I put the Jim Kay illustrated versions of the first three Harry Potter books (all that was available so far) on my Christmas list last year.
It’s the fall! I pulled the books back down and st Well, well, well.
