This is from a couple of months ago, a notebook that belonged to Agatha Christie was being auctioned:

Crime novelist Agatha Christie’s handwritten notebook in which she plotted ideas for one of her detective novels is up for auction.

The 1948, “regular, off-the-shelf” bound notebook, which features a hand-drawn ink sketch Christie made to illustrate the layout for a murder, is expected to fetch almost €52,000.

Experts described the cloth spine notebook, the only one in existence outside of the Christie estate, as “brimming with ideas” and “fascinating and insightful”.

Most of the jottings and plans contained within it are for the novel A Murder Is Announced, and the 1954 play Spider’s Web.

The auction was held November 17-19, but I can’t find any news about the final price…
