1999
Bloomsbury, London.

A pristine first deluxe edition of the debut novel in this groundbreaking series, still sealed in the original shrink wrap. 

As the work is unopened, impression cannot be confirmed, however the work has the correct ISBN 0-7475-4572-3 and is priced at £18, as called for. From ‘Goblet of Fire’ onwards, first impressions have ‘first edition’ on the sticker meaning impression can be identified without removing from shrink wrap, however, this is not the case for the first three in the series. 

Published near simultaneously with the original series, the deluxe editions of the series have become an important bibliographical high point in Potter collecting, with this a particularly scarce sealed example of the first work. 

In the publisher’s original shrink wrap. Minor handling marks to shrink wrap.

Grading: AS NEW.
