First American edition in hardcover (purple and red boards) with 2nd issue dust jacket, not price clipped (mylar protected). Both book and jacket are in near fine condition. Boldly signed by the author on the title page. This book came from the estate of a book agent in Greenwich / NY City. Would be an excellent addition to any Potter fan's collection.

Below is a letter line from Harvill Press, in this case indicating a first printing:
