This is a truly fabulous bright, clean copy of the 3rd impression of the Canadian edition. Confusingly it has a 4 on the number line which is as called for since the first impression had a 2. This is an early reprint and therefore is a straight replica, so I'm reliably informed, of the first Bloomsbury impression. No inscriptions and looks hardly read. Toning from the page block edge as is common with these early copies. The Canadian printers reference is the clue on the copyright page. The dust jacket is lovely and bright and not price clipped, maybe with very slight edge wear which is barely noticeable and now protected by a removable jacket sleeve. "Raincoast" at the foot of the spine of the dj. Great copy.

A fine, bright copy of the 19th impression of the first book in the Harry Potter series. All the early hardbacks of this are becoming ever scarcer. There are no inscriptions and the pages are clean throughout, albeit a tad toned, especially at the page block edge. This is quite normal for early printings of the Stone. The pictorial boards are looking very bright and fresh still with no obvious marks excepting maybe the odd very minor surface scuff. . There are a couple of very minor knocks, at the top corner of the back board and the bottom corner of the front one, but you really do have to look hard to notice them. The dust jacket is, on the whole, bright and not price clipped. That said there is some very minor edge creasing and general shop shelf wear and the spine has a faint crease along it, which you hardly notice; also the spine is a little sun faded. Nowhere near enough to render the title lettering unreadable but it is somewhat faded. "Triple Smarties Gold Award Winner" banner across the bottom edge of both the jacket and the front board. In all this is a fine copy in very collectable bright condition.

Bloomsbury, London. First edition, ninth impression (1998) - exhibiting the defining characteristics of the early issues: 'young wizard' illustration to the spine and lower board, and 'Joanne Rowling' to the copyright page; interestingly, the duplication of '1 wand' on p.53, seen in the first printing and then removed in subsequent printings, is present in this print (before disappearing again for good in the tenth print). Very Good: firm and square binding in bright pictorial boards; bumped to the top corner and a little pushing/wrinkling to the spine tips; tanned to the edge of the page block (a common occurrence due to the publisher's choice of poor-quality paper) with a trace of spotting to the top-edge and a tiny solitary spot to the fore-edge; a few minor spots/marks internally; free from previous owner names and inscriptions.

A very slight lean. Internally, the book is complete with no tears or writing present. A pleasant copy. - The dust jacket is also in very good condition and also has the young wizard illustration on it. It has not been price clipped, but has no price shown on the dust jacket. There are two diagonal creases to the top corner of the front flap, with some very light ruffling to the top and bottom. Light surface scratching throughout, but nothing that has pierced the laminate. A nice copy overall
