Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, very early 8th softcover printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, signed by J.K. Rowling on the dedication page in black ink. The book was signed for the previous owner, Genevieve, at Whitworth Hall in Manchester. The eighth edition paperback was published only a few months after the first and is one of the scarcest print runs in paperback, with signed copies being extremely rare. The exact print run is unknown but was likely much smaller than the first. It was the first printing to feature an original Smarties Book Prize Award sticker on the front cover this sticker was later incorporated into the cover design in subsequent printings. This VG (Very Good) copy has been read multiple times, with most wear visible on the cover. The Smarties sticker is missing, and the cover shows signs of use. The interior is in good condition. A few pages have a light crease at the top, but there are no names, inscriptions, or writing inside the book. The book comes housed in a custom-made half-leather clamshell box. Also included is a Letter of Authenticity (LoA) from Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist -the world's sole expert on J.K. Rowling's signature- as well as a collector's card. Signed by Author(s).
