Genuine Bloomsbury UK First Edition, 19th print Hardback with un-clipped dustjacket. NOT Ted Smart, foreign language, or Large Print edition. A very difficult to find early print, with "Joanne" on the copyright page instead of J. K, as in later printings, and "Triple Smarties." logo on the front. The pages have no marks or tears, just the top corners of P.133-138 have been creased, and the usual age tanning. There is writing inside the front and back covers. The edges of the book show some pushing and small scrubs. The dustjacket is not price-clipped, and shows some fading and wear - see pictures. Packed securely and posted from UK within TWO working days. Overseas orders always posted Airmail.
Twenty-ninth impression of the true first edition with just 29 at the bottom of the printer's page. Also stated 'Harry Potter, names, characters and related inidcia are copyright and trademark Warner Bros., 2000 TM' - indicating a publication date of 2000 or later. Also with three further titles including "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" listed as 'also available' - "The Goblet of Fire" was published in 2000. ***Near fine in pictorial colour illustrated boards. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine just slightly creased. Corners sharp. No other bumps or creases to the boards. Page block edges clean. Very slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. No reading creases. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean and bright - just lightly tanned as usual. No creases or tears. The colours of the book are extremely bright and unfaded. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, which retains the original publisher's printed price of £10.99 on the front flap. Head and tail of spine of dustwrapper just very slightly creased. No other creases, chips or tears. The colours to the spine of the dustwrapper are virtually unfaded, which is very unusual - there is usually quite a lot of fading to the red and the purple colours. ***223 pages. 206mm x 136mm. ***A twenty-ninth impression of the true first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in near fine bright condition, with a near fine unfaded dustwrapper.
