A man browsing in a charity shop with his two daughters made an extraordinary find: three Terry Pratchett books priced at £1 each. Upon returning home, he discovered that all three contained the author's signature, with one also featuring a handwritten message from Pratchett.
Chris, who shared the discovery on TikTok, explained that his daughters were talking throughout the recording, so he muted the video. He noted that the books were priced at £1 each, so he paid just £3 for the trio. After examining the signatures more closely, he opened the front page of one book to find additional writing from the author.
Unsure whether the signatures were printed or genuine, Chris asked his followers for their opinion. Many responded that the signatures appeared authentic. He concluded that the books could sell for more than £1 each.
Sir Terry Pratchett, best known for the Discworld series, is a highly collectible author. Signed copies, especially those with unique doodles or quotes, are sought after by collectors. One of the books Chris found, The Light Fantastic, is particularly valuable; reports suggest it could sell for over £2,000 depending on the edition.
For those who make similar finds, experts recommend checking sold listings on eBay or consulting a professional auction house for an accurate valuation.
