The Oxford Mail has an article about rare books donated to Oxfam shops in the region that will be auctioned to benefit the charity.
A first edition Chamber of Secrets is one of the donated books. It will go on sale at Bonhams near Kidlington on June 16th.Â
The book is considered to be worth £400.
Nihal Alahendra, manager of Oxfam St Giles, said: “I’m delighted that our volunteers have found these valuable books, which will raise thousands of pounds for Oxfam.
“Their discoveries are indicative of the hard work that goes on day in, day out, all year round at our shops, to sort through donations and identify the most valuable items.
“There are 80 people who volunteer at this bookshop and many of them have years of experience.
“This is the second year we have worked with Bonhams, and it’s great to see these books being auctioned in Oxfordshire.â€
