First deluxe editions, first impressions, of the complete Harry Potter series. Complete in seven volumes bound in cloth with color pictorial onlays, gilt edges, ribbon bookmarks, and gilt stamping. Fine. This series is one of the most sought-after versions of the beloved children's books (after the correct first editions). These books are attractively designed for collectors and had comparatively small print runs in the thousands, rather than millions of copies.

First edition, 15th impression, paperback issue, inscribed by the author on the half-title, "To Jennifer, I've got to use your surname in a book! J. K. Rowling". Early inscribed copies of the first Harry Potter book with interesting or intriguing content are increasingly rare in commerce. Both paperback and hardback issues of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were published on 26 June 1997. The 15th impression is sufficiently early to feature the original wizard on the rear wrapper and, of bibliographical interest, the gap between "Taylor" and "1997" on the imprint page is missing, and the error of "1 wand" has been corrected on page 53. The gold "Smarties Book Prize" design on the front wrapper is printed and no longer a sticker. Errington A1(a); Grolier Children's 100, 100. Octavo. Original illustrated wrappers, spine and front wrapper lettered in white, yellow, dark green, and black. Child's ownership inscription to front wrapper verso. Slight lean to spine, extremities lightly rubbed, a little lifting of laminate, creases to rear wrapper, contents toned as usual. A very good copy.

The copy presented here is a first English paperback edition, 27th printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It contains a 1999 variation of J.K. Rowling's signature and was signed to the dedication page in blue ballpoint pen ' To Lily, you will know that I love your name because I used it for Harry's mum!' Lily was the daughter of illustrator, Ian Beck, at the Hay Literary Festival. Ian knew the publicity and editorial team at Bloomsbury who introduced him to J.K. Rowling who was happy to inscribe this book for his daughter. This is a beautiful copy completely unread and with no colour fading and only very minor creasing to the spine. The page edges are surprising white and fresh which is incredibly rare for this book. They are often found with significant toning to the page edges due to the cheap paper stock used. It still has an incredibly tight binding, and hardly any bend or bowing to the front cover which is again very rare. The only minor flaw to the book is a slight nick to the base of the spine in the bottom right corner, otherwise this book is in fine condition. Internally, there are no ownership inscriptions or writing of any kind with no dog eared pages, folds or creases to any of the pages. The only flaw internally is a slight water stain to the bottom of the title page only. The book overall has clearly been very well looked after. The signature and inscription come fully authenticated by Adam Houston 'theharrypotterspecialist' the world's leading expert in authenticating Jo's signature. It comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card. This book was previously owned by Adam himself having bought it in 2022 directly from the original owner. It comes with provenance in the form of an email and hand written letter by Ian Beck to Adam Houston.

First edition, fourth impression, hardback issue, signed by the author on the dedication page. Both paperback and hardback issues of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were published on 26 June 1997. The fourth impression is sufficiently early to feature the original wizard on the rear cover and, of bibliographical interest, the gap between "Taylor" and "1997" on the imprint page is missing (as in the first impression), and the error of "1 wand" has been corrected on page 53. Cf. Errington A1(a); Grolier Children's 100, 100. Octavo. Original matt printed paper boards, spine and front cover lettered in white, yellow, dark green, and black. With dust jacket. Extremities very slightly bumped; extremities of jacket slightly rubbed, not price-clipped: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
