A rare first-edition copy of Wuthering Heights, complete with spelling mistakes, is up for auction for the first time in over a century.

Only about 250 copies of the first edition were printed, and this one has been in a private library since shortly after its publication in 1847.

Expected to sell for between 400,000 and 600,000 pounds at a June 30 auction in London, the copy is being sold alongside a copy of sister Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey.

The first edition of Wuthering Heights is notorious for its typographical errors, including the occasional misspelling of the word 'heights.'

The novel has inspired multiple film adaptations, including a recent movie with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the mismatched pair Cathy and Heathcliff.
