This post is simply to raise your attention to the power and value of a book influenced by Film or TV.
If you owned a copy of Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell in first edition form then three years back it may not have raised even £5. Yet when the 2012 film was released, first editions were selling for around the £200 mark - purely because the film had induced a sales hype.
This effect can been seen everywhere - in Harry Potter books, in Hobbits and Alice's. But this effect is not limited to TV. Famous series such as Game of Thrones have books that grew substantially in value after the franchises were launched on TV.
Always be on the look out for books of upcoming films.
Here's a list of a few on IMDB:

My advice would be to try and buy a copy of The Book Thief signed by the author - that one is almost certain to rise when the film is released next year.
