About This Item
This first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is fresh to the market (unheard of these days) and is the best I have ever seen and certainly the best a collector could hope for.
This is one of 5,150 copies in wrappers, with all the required points of the first impression: Bloomsbury imprint, 10-down-to-1 number line, the list of equipment on p. 53 with "1 wand" appearing twice in the list, and the misprint "Philospher's" on the back cover.
First edition, first impression, paperback issue of the first Harry Potter book. Both paperback and hardback issues of the first impression were published on 26 June 1997. A fine example both internally and externally with none of the usual creasing to the spine.
