✨ A TRUE PIECE OF PUBLISHING HISTORY ✨
📖 Lot 64 J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone — FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, paperback, Bloomsbury 1997.
This is a genuine first printing, complete with all the required issue points collectors look for:
⚡ Full number line (10–1)
⚡ “1 wand” appearing twice on p.53
⚡ “Philospher’s” misspelling on the rear cover
⚡ “Wizardry and Witchcraft” wording
⚡ “Joanne Rowling” on the copyright page
⚡ No space between “Taylor” and “1997”
A well-loved survivor — creased and worn wrappers, signs of use throughout — but complete, sound, and unmistakably authentic. A book that was read, not hidden away.
📚 The beginning of the most successful book series in publishing history.
💛 IMPORTANT: This copy is being sold to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, making it a rare chance to own an iconic first and support an extraordinary cause.
