Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Second State of the First Edition, First Printing of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Number line of 10-1 , J.K. Rowling listed on the copyright page. The first print run consisted of 5,150 copies only (Errington: 187), divided into two states. By common opinion the second state is a bit less rare than the first state, although according to Errington the difference in printed copies must be minimal: 2,500 versus 2,650 copies. The book is unread with a tight binding and clean pages, without names or inscriptions and even with only very minor browning of pages. Minor bumped upper front corner, sharp spine ends and cornertips. Comes in a near fine first edition dust jacket with hardly any wear and without fading. Housed in a custom-made half-leather Clamshell box. A highly collectible copy. Seller Inventory # 2190b

Rowling listed on the copyright page and the complete number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. The book and dust jacket presented here are in fine condition with no fading at all, the pages are bright and clean with no inscriptions or marks of any kind.

The book comes housed in a dark green quarter leather clamshell box. There are reported to be 5000 first printing copies across both states, however the exact split is not known.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Highly sought after First State of the First Edition, First Printing of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in a near pristine condition in an excellent first state dust jacket. Number line of 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1, Joanne Rowling listed on the copyright page, famous dropped text error on page 7. In the uncorrected proof of the book sent to reviewers, the word 'burnt' on page 7 was misspelled as 'burned'. While correcting, the "Enter" key was accidentally pressed, causing the rest of the sentence to move to the next line. Shortly after this was discovered, the print run was stopped and this printing error was corrected. At the same time, the name on the copyright page was changed from 'Joanne Rowling' to 'J.K. Rowling'. According to Bloomsbury approximately 2.500 First State copies with a dropped text error were printed [see Errington, p 187]. Most of these copies have been included in collections over the past twenty years. This unread copy is in a marvelous condition, almost like new. The boards have vibrant colours, sharp spine ends, sharp corners and cornertips without any wear or traces of use. The binding is very tight, even still a bit crispy when opening. The pages are bright, with hardly the usual toning and without inscriptions, names, dog-ears or other traces of use. The first state dust jacket is inside and outside also in a pristine condition without any fading, discoloration or wear, now protected by a removable Brodart archival cover. One of the most beautiful copies we have ever seen of this very rare and highly collectable book. Comes in a custom-made half-leather clamshell box. Seller Inventory # 2308

First Edition
Seller: Bayliss Rare Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
The first edition, first impression of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in the exceedingly rare first state, which is distinguishable by the Joanne Rowling credit on the copyright page and the dropped text on page 7. Only 500 copies of the first state are estimated to have been printed before the printers error was uncovered making the first state of Azkaban extraordinarily rarer. Alongside the scarcity, this edition is now hard to find in tip top condition. Most fine copies are now locked away in collections of devoted fans and investors, making the present example all the more sought after. A strong investment piece. Description and Condition: First edition, first impression, first state in a near-fine example of the dustjacket. All first state points are present. Internally the book is incredibly fresh. Easily one of the cleanest copies on the market and certainly thefreshest I have offered for sale (and as an expert in Potter first editions, I have offered a few now). Seller Inventory # B0217
