Complete set of Harry Potter DELUXE first editions, first printings - NEAR PRISTINE

Descripción

Complete set of first editions, first printings of the UK DELUXE signature collector's edition. Cloth boards with inlaid image. Gilt text and edging. This series was introduced by Bloomsbury in 1999 specifically for collectors. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the first to appear on 8 July 1999, released simultaneously with the trade edition. Later that September, DeLuxe editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets followed. The subsequent volumes were published in 2000, 2003, 2005, and 2007, each released alongside the corresponding trade edition. Like the trade editions, the first three books feature a number line from 1 to 10, while the later titles are marked First Edition. Notably, Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Azkaban were printed in very small first-run quantities, with Azkaban having the smallest print run estimated at just 1,500 copies. Although the later titles are slightly less scarce, they were still produced in very limited numbers and are considered rare collector's items. All books are in near-pristine condition and still in their original shrink wrap. For the first three volumes, the shrink wrap was opened to check the print run. For the last four volumes, the shrink wrap has a sticker stating 'First Edition', so it was not necessary to open them.
