Fabulous, unread copy of the 39th impression of the first paperback edition. The original children's cover. The spine is not creased, there's no sun fading whatsoever and the pages are clean throughout. Just a little very minor curling at the fore edge/corners of the card covers and toning at the page block edge, more especially at the top edge. A super copy of an edition which is becoming ever scarcer. Almost like it was bought and put away in a drawer for 20 years. PS. I once met Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) outside my shop. He was asking directions to nearby Penshurst. You'd have thought that his magic would have taken him there wouldn't you!
