A signed Paul McCartney book that was donated to an Oxfam charity shop sells at auction for close to £1,000. Multiple reports say the donation sat in the shop for months before staff noticed its value. The BBC and The Independent describe how the book remains unnoticed at an Oxfam store until the manager spots the inscription and realizes it is signed by the former Beatles musician. After being identified, the item is moved through the auction process and ultimately sells for roughly £1,000, with some outlets reporting the final price as “nearly” £1,000. The reports do not indicate that the auction proceeds are directly tied to the original donor, but the book’s sale follows its charitable donation and subsequent discovery by shop staff. Overall, the accounts agree on the key timeline elements: donation to Oxfam, months of being overlooked, discovery of McCartney’s signature, and an auction sale near £1,000.
