A Near Fine copy of the book in like jacket. A very collectable copy of this increasingly hard-to-find title.Ĭondition: Near Fine. This is the true first state jacket, with all first points, including The Guardian quote on the rear panel. No writing or scribbles inside, book is very clean. Cloth of book is clean with no marks and no rubbing corners are sharp, one corner is lightly creased, with light bumping to lower boards. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was chosen as a title for the US market as the UK title (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) was considered rather obscure. A very good copy of this classic book, the very first Harry Potter book, published under this title in the United States.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, JK Rowling, Scholastic Press, Arthur A. As Michael Winerip praises in his 1999 New York Times review, "like Harry Potter, had wizardry inside, and has soared beyond her modest Muggle surroundings to achieve something quite special.". Although often regarded as a children's novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone topped adult reading charts in both the United States and the UK. It introduces both Harry and readers alike to the secret, magical world of wizards and witches in England. First published by Bloomsbury in England as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter series. Overall, a true first printing (which is becoming exceedingly rare in collectible condition) that presents beautifully. Near fine book with touch of wear to bottom edges of boards, previous owner's signature to front free endpaper, and a bit of soiling to rear endpapers in a near fine unclipped dust jacket with a small nick to upper corner of front panel, and light creasing to top of front panel and spine ends. Publisher's red cloth and purple boards with diamond pattern in blind, lettered in gilt in the original pictorial dust jacket designed by GrandPré, with an illustration of Harry catching the Snitch to the front panel, illustration of Dumbledore and Hedwig to the rear panel, lettered in gilt.
First American edition, first printing, in a first state dust jacket: spine lacking Year 1, dust jacket priced at $16.95 and with review from The Guardian on the rear panel.
