Uncorrected proof copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, One of only 150 copies to exist, many of which are believed to have been read and discarded by the reviewers who Bloomsbury sent the books out to pre-publication. Only recently in January 2025 a memo was found dated 14th January 1999 from Roz de la Hay at Bloomsbury Head Office. The memo discusses the print run and discloses the exact number of copies between the purple proof (being only 31 copies) and  the green proof (being 150 copies printed). Previously to this memo being found, collectors and Harry Potter experts believed there were 50 purple copies and 250 green copies printed. These findings could mean an increase in value of both of these proofs going forward. This particular copy is the green and later version in beautiful condition. With a square and tight binding and bright white pages this really is a lovely copy. It has very little wear to the spine, or to the front or back wrappers, but does have a faded spine, otherwise a fine copy that appears unread. Internally, the book has no marks, dog eared pages or toning of any kind. The book comes housed in a dark green quarter leather clamshell box made by the Chelsea Bindery specifically for this book with bespoke gold lettering to the spine.
