UPI reports, the book is one of 200 copies that was printed for reviewers, and features the typo on the title page. Instead of J.K. Rowling, it says J.A. Rowling.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was actually released in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This was the first book, which launched the entire Harry Potter franchise.

The rare proof will most likely sell between $2,800 to $5,600, and will be put up for auction on Thursday.
