First Edition, First Printing of J.K. Rowling's Rare First Book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone; Signed by Her
First Edition, first printing with all the prerequisite first issue points called for (including "wand" listed twice on page 53). Octavo, original illustrated boards, without a dust jacket as issued. Signed by J.K. Rowling on the dedication page. In near fine condition with some light browning to the page edges and light fading to the spine. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Only 500 copies of the first printing were published, with over half making their way to libraries. A very sharp example.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first novel in the Harry Potter series and J. K. Rowling's debut novel, first published in 1997 by Bloomsbury. The writing has been compared to that of Jane Austen, one of Rowling's favourite authors, or Roald Dahl, whose works dominated children's stories before the appearance of Harry Potter, and of the Ancient Greek story-teller Homer. It has been translated into several languages and has been made into a feature-length film of the same name.
