Some very light rubbing to the edges but no creases, chips or tears. There is some sun-fading to the colours on the spine - mainly to the purple which has faded to blue (please see scans). ***223 pages. 206mm x 136mm. ***An early twenty-fifth impression of the true first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in its original dustwrapper, in very good original condition, albeit with the above-mentioned faults.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This is a true second printing hardcover copy of the most famous and most sought after children's book of all time. It is well known and well documented that the first printing had a print run of 500 hardcover copies and 5150 paperback copies. Within a week, numerous errors were noticed in the first printing and very quickly a second print run of 1000 hardcover copies was printed. This is one of those very rare 1/1000 copies in fine, beautiful condition. The most famous of the many errors corrected from the first printing to the second include the correction of  the misspelled Philospher's on the rear cover along with Wizardry and Witchcraft, corrected to Witchcraft and Wizardry. Also, the very well known error of 1 wand listed twice on page 53, now correctly only appears once in the second printing.  Similarities between the two still show the missing space between Thomas Taylor1997 on the copyright page as well as the Wendy Cooling quote 'A terrific read and a stunning first novel' at the bottom of the front cover. The copyright page shows a number line of  10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 to show that it is a second printing. This stunning copy is clearly unread, the binding is still square and tight with no colour fading at all to the boards or spine. The page edges are white and fresh which is extremely rare for these books as they are well known for their cheap paper stock which is almost always found to be toned and discoloured. The corners of the boards are still sharp and the head and tail of the spine still appear firm. Internally, the pages are all present, clean with no library stamps, no dog eared pages, no personal inscriptions or writing of any kind. A true collector's copy. The book comes housed in a quarter leather, red clamshell box, custom made for this particular book to further preserve its condition. There was no dust jacket issued for the first and second printings of this book. This copy comes with a cover artwork bookplate signed by J.K. Rowling. It is loose, not stuck down into the book and fully authenticated as a genuine signature by Adam Houston, The Harry Potter Specialist. As well as the clamshell box and signed bookplate, this book also comes with a full authenticity package that includes a Letter of Authenticity and Collector Card. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. This is a third printing UK copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It is a highly sought after copy as it is the first copy to be released with a dust jacket. With the first and second printings often out of reach for the average collector, this more affordable third printing is a great addition to anyones collection. The dust jacket for the third printing is unique in that it is slightly more purple in colour than the blue of the rear board of the book. Subsequent dust jackets on later printings are more of a blue colour matching the blue on the book. Often third printing books are sold with later printing dust jackets as the slight difference in colour is the only thing that can tell them apart. This is a true third printing dust jacket. The book itself is in fine condition, a near perfect copy without any colour fading. It is unread, the binding is tight, the boards are square with sharp corners and the pages are a bright white, clean and free from any toning, creases, ownership inscriptions or dog eared pages. There is also no colour fading at all to the dust jacket which is unclipped and in pristine condition. The book comes housed in a custom made red quarter leather clamshell box with bespoke gold lettering to the spine. This copy comes with a loose Bloomsbury bookplate signed by J.K. Rowling, not yet stuck down into the book, but fully authenticated as a genuine signature by Adam Houston, The Harry Potter Specialist. As well as the clamshell box and signed bookplate, this book also comes with a full authenticity package that includes a Letter of Authenticity and Collector Card. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover, Slipcased. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Jim Kay (illustrator). 1st Edition. Limited first edition, first impression - Signed and dated by the illustrator Jim Kay who has hand-sketched multiple owls on the title page, and a dragon spanning two pages. Accompanied by a signed print of Diagon Alley. A totally unique copy. Jim Kay won the Carnegie Medal for his illustrations in Patrick Ness' Kate Grenaway Award-winning 'A monster Calls' (the only time a book has received both awards). Synopsis : Prepare to be spellbound by Jim Kay's dazzling depiction of the wizarding world and much loved characters in this full-colour illustrated hardback edition of the nation's favourite children's book - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Brimming with rich detail and humour that perfectly complements J.K. Rowling's timeless classic, Jim Kay's glorious illustrations will captivate fans and new readers alike. When a letter arrives for unhappy but ordinary Harry Potter, a decade-old secret is revealed to him that apparently he's the last to know. His parents were wizards, killed by a Dark Lord's curse when Harry was just a baby, and which he somehow survived. Leaving his unsympathetic aunt and uncle for Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a sinister mystery when he finds a three-headed dog guarding a room on the third floor. Then he hears of a missing stone with astonishing powers, which could be valuable, dangerous - or both. An incredible adventure is about to begin! Signed by Illustrator(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. HARDBACK - A near fine or better example, one of the very rare 500 true first edition copies published by Bloomsbury in 1997. The publisher's laminated boards are very clean indeed with no laminate lifting whatsoever. There is very light bruising to the head of the spine which is also very lightly fading to the red portion of the upper spine, perhaps only a shade, but still red in appearance. As can be seen in image number three. The mis-spelled Philospher's is present to the rear panel, with the Wizardry and Witchcraft, rather than Witchcraft and Wizardry also present. The binding is very well preserved, tight and solid, with the publisher's original laminate entirely present. Internally, the book is completely free of any previous owner names or inscriptions. The inner pages are clean and fresh with light toning to the page block, due to the cheap paper stock used, but less than what is invariably encountered with this title. No dog eared pages or internal, external soiling. Please be assured that this title is NOT an EX LIBRARY copy and has had none of the dreaded restoration, re colouring, or touching up performed to it. A lovely clean example and an outstanding copy in every way. Included with this book is a bespoke felt lined clam shell box with raised bands and with gilt lettering present to the spine. Custom made for the book's future protection. If you are looking for a first hardback UK edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in true collector's condition this copy is as close to fine as one is likely to encounter. Should you wish to see a full set of images of this title, please refer to our website, as we are limited to five images herewith.
