Hardcover. Etat : 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. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : 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. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. Jim Kay (illustrateur). 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. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. This is a 2004 variation of J.K. Rowling's signature signed in blue ballpoint pen to the half title page of a first UK edition, 33rd printing copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The book was originally offered as part of a charity auction to benefit the 'Sick Kids Friends Foundation' at the Signet Library, Edinburgh, on the 8th December 2004, and was kept by the winning bidder for over 20 years. It is accompanied by the original invitation card inviting the recipient to join the foundation at The Parish Church of St. Cuthbert, Edinburgh, on Wednesday 8th December 2004 from 18:30-20:30 for 'CAROLS FOR CHRISTMAS' followed by dinner at the Signet Library. This copy is in pristine condition with no flaws internally or externally to either the book itself or the dust jacket. It is perfect, the best copy we have ever handled, housed in a red quarter leather clamshell box with gold gilt lettering to the spine. The signature comes fully authenticated by Adam Houston 'The Harry Potter Specialist,' the world's leading expert in authenticating Jo's signature. It comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity, collector card and provenance. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. The first four books of the Harry Potter series, each signed and inscribed by the author, housed in the original Bloomsbury box.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. PAPERBACK - CORRECT UK FIRST EDITION - A fine copy bound in the publisher's illustrated paper wraps. There is absolutely no fading to the spine, but there is a tiny indentation to the upper spine corner. The front and rear panels are very clean indeed with no creasing, and with no laminate lifting or loss to the paper covers. Internally, the pages are very lightly toned, but much less than usually encountered. Free of any foxing, with no previous owner names or inscriptions inset. The book is the correct UK first edition with the Wendy Cooling review to the front panel, the Philosophers printing error to the rear panel and with the correct 10-1 number sequence found to the copyright page. Included with this book is a Hogwart's Express card, signed by the author, with an accompanying letter of provenance from J K Rowling's PA, Fiddy Henderson, thanking the previous card's owner for their initial letter. Housed in a felt-lined clamshell box that has been custom-made for this book to ensure it does not get damaged in the future. A very nice book indeed that looks unread and has none of the usual fading to the spine invariably seen with this title. We have handled numerous copies of this title in over twenty years of buying and selling Harry Potter titles. This copy is by far the best example that we have handled.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. First paperback edition, 1997, 19th printing. Signed and dedicated by J K Rowling on the dedication page 'for Ben / with best wishes / J K Rowling'. With issue points Joanne (not J K) Rowling and Thomas Taylor1997 (no space) to title verso, and young wizard on lower cover. This is an exceptionally Fine copy. There is no fading to the spine, which is a very common fault with this book; no browning or toning to pages, which is very unusual; no peeling of laminate; and no ownership or other inscriptions apart from the dedication by the author. The book is tightly bound and has never been read. It has probably been kept in a draw or cupboard since new. Supplied in a red custom-made drop-back box. A superlative copy in collector's condition. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Etat : 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).

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Rowling, Joanne Kathleen (1997) 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', UK uncorrected proof, published by Bloomsbury. Signed and inscribed by the author on the dedication page: "to Catriona long time since I have seen one of these! J.K. Rowling". Housed in a beautiful yellow full leather solander case for protection and stunning presentation on the shelf. Provenance: Catriona was the children's book buyer at a famous large Edinburgh book shop from 1995-2000. She was given this proof by the publisher's agent in 1997 and, from the start, advocated the story based on its merits. This copy was personally inscribed by Rowling during a visit to the shop in 1999. Condition: a very good specimen not restored in any way. Light creases to the wraps and shelf wear. Small ink stain to top page block. Internally clean. According to Errington [2015] and Bloomsbury records 200 proof copies have been printed. This stands against a first hardback print run of 500 copies intended for the library market and 5,150 paperbacks for the general public. Therefore, this is one of the rarest collectable Harry Potter book as not many proofs have survived the passage of time, made even scarcer by the fact that this is a signed and inscribed copy. We have only ever seen a handful of signed uncorrected proofs of the first Harry Potter titles on the market. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. Joanne (Kathleen) Rowling (1997) 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone', UK first edition, first printing, in paperback, published by Bloomsbury. Together with an original handwritten card signed by Rowling. Both items housed in a bespoke full leather solander box. The book: this is the true paperback first edition with all first issue points present: the Wendy Cooling blurb on the front panel; the rear panel bears the typo with an 'o' missing in "Philosopher's" and "Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft" instead of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Page 53 lists 'wand' twice as called for. No dust jacket as issued. One of only 5,150 copies printed of which the majority have not survived the passage of time in such beautiful unread condition. The book is in fine condition, unread and with an unbroken spine. There are no previous owner's marks, no stamps, no bookplates. No creasing to spine or wraps whatsoever. No fading to the spine as often seen. Slight toning of paper commensurate with age. This is a natural process due to the cheap paper stock used by the publisher and inevitable over time. A superb copy, and we have never seen a better specimen. The card: handwritten on both sides, measuring 5.75″ x 4.25″, on Rowling's personal stationery card, no date but circa 2001, and addressed to Don Mackenzie. Rowling discusses her new home in Edinburgh, often referred to as the birthplace of Harry Potter and calls her garden an "enchanted place." Boldly signed by Rowling as "J.K. Rowling." Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA to an overall size of 6.5″ x 10″ Rowling writes, in full: "Dear Don, Thank you very much for your letter. I love reading about your memories of Killiechassie. Yes, the walled garden is still an enchanted place it was that that made me want the house more than anything else. And we have also found the freezer! Though I have not walked into it yet (claustrophobia). Yes, do you recognize the Killin viaduct! With best wishes JK Rowling" Edinburgh, often hailed as the birthplace of Harry Potter, has been home to J.K. Rowling since 1993, though she also owns properties elsewhere in the UK and abroad. In 2001, Rowling purchased Killiechassie, a historic country estate near Weem, approximately 74 miles north of Edinburgh, which was once owned by the Douglas family in the 19th century. The estate, situated on 12 acres along the River Tay, became the site of Rowling's marriage to Neil Murray, with the ceremony held in the estate's library on December 26, 2001. The solander box: full red goatskin with five raised bands, title, author, and first edition 1997 to the spine. Internally lined in black suedel which cushions the book and protects it perfectly in a special compartment. A luxurious presentation on the shelf whilst offering perfect protection. Rowling and Harry Potter need no further introduction. The most popular children fantasy series of the last decades which sold hundreds of million copies world wide in its over 60 languages to date. Perhaps Rowling's most important credit is that with the captivating story of a young wizard boy named Harry Potter she made reading 'cool' again for an entire generation of kids which grew up on electronic media entertainment. A highly coveted book and we are proud to be able to offer this copy to collectors conscious to the historical significance of this copy. Stored in a safety deposit box outside our premises. First and Fine. Signed by Author(s).

An early 18th edition paperback of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, paired with a first print hardback of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, both signed by J.K. Rowling on the dedication page at the City Varieties Music Hall in Leeds, July 1998. The books come with documented provenance, as featured in a comprehensive article in The Star newspaper. Additionally, this set includes a very rare 'Friend of Potter' button. These buttons were distributed by Bloomsbury in early 1998 exclusively to bookstore staff for use during a signing event. According to a reliable source, fewer than 100 were issued. This button has since become a highly collectible item. A handwritten card from the original owner, Dr. Francesca Roe, recounts her experience at the July 1998 reading and signing event in Leeds. Dr. Roe, aged eight at the time, attended the event with her parents and younger brother, Max. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is in near fine condition.
