A hardback first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone worth about £40,000 was one of a number of rare books stolen during a burglary.
The book, J.K Rowling's maiden novel of the globally successful series, was stolen from SN Books in Thetford, Norfolk, between 8 and 9 January.
A 1937 first edition of The Hobbit and a set of four first editions of Winnie the Pooh were among 12 books taken.
Norfolk Police said the books are "not the sort of thing you see every day."
Not sure if the picture is of the actual stolen book or is a stock photo, but it may turn up on the web for sale.
