Only literary dilettantes will be lining up to get a copy of Vladimir Nabokov’s just-published unfinished novel — the real fans will be bidding on the handwritten manuscript.

The text of Nabokov’s “Original of Laura” — written on a stack of 138 note cards — is expected to go for up to $700,000 on Dec. 4 at Christie’s. Nabokov, the author of “Lolita,” hated “Laura” and wanted the manuscript destroyed.
