Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

ROWLING, J. K.

Edité par London: Bloomsbury, 1999

First edition, first impression, first state, with the requisite points: the number series on the copyright page from 10 down to 1, "Joanne Rowling" as the copyright holder, and the dropped line of text on page 7. In the second state, the dropped text is corrected and the copyright is attributed to "J. K. Rowling". Errington notes that there were 2,500 copies of the first state and that the entire impression comprised only 5,150 copies. This was the last Harry Potter title before first print runs hit unprecedented quantities; a second impression of 101,800 copies was completed before the official publication date (and time) for this title. The bibliographer states "the title was published on 8 July 1999 and released at the precise time of 3.45 p.m." Nigel Newton, the founder of Bloomsbury, noted "I think I can claim credit for that particular idea" (see Errington, p. 186). Errington A7(a). Octavo. Original matt laminated printed paper boards, spine and covers lettered in light orange, purple, green, and black. With dust jacket. One corner very slightly bumped, trace of foxing to top edge, unclipped jacket: a near-fine copy in fine jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur 176678
