Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, First UK Edition, First Printing, Paperback, J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury, 1997

Descripción

This is a true first printing copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in paperback, of which there were 5150 copies printed. These were printed simultaneously with the 500 hardback copies, neither of which have bibliographic priority. All of the first printing points can be observed including the Wendy Cooling quote to the bottom of the front cover, the misspelled Philospher s present to the rear cover along with the Wizardry and Witchcraft, rather than Witchcraft and Wizardry. The very well known error of 1 wand listed twice on page 53 along with the all important 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 number line listed on the copyright page and the missing space between Thomas Taylor1997. This is a lovely near fine copy with no colour fading at all the the spine or book itself. There are no creases to the front or back covers but there is some creasing to the spine and some marginal toning as is always the case. The book has a tight binding and is square with no shelf lean, it appears unread with no dog ears, folds or creases to any of the pages. Internally, there are no ownership inscriptions or writing of any kind but the title and half title pages do have some minor spotting, otherwise a fine copy. Overall, a beautiful copy protected in a custom made quarter leather clamshell box with gold gilt lettering to the spine.
