The first book in the series introduces boy wizard Harry Potter. We believe this to be a book club edition with the following points of issue: a full number line is followed by "8 9/9 0/0 01 02." "Printed in the U.S.A. 23" and then "First American edition, October 1998" appear below the number line. Boards are black (not embossed with the diamond pattern) with a maroon spine. Dust jacket is priced at $17.95. The bar code section on the jacket is cream with nothing printed above the smaller bar code. The dust jacket also features a Publishers Weekly review on the back cover. The lettering is not embossed and is a dull brown color on both the front cover and the spine. The spine of both the book and the dust jacket lack a "Year 1" badge. The jacket has the author's name as just "Rowling" though the book has "J.K." above "Rowling." This particular copy is in beautiful condition and is exceptionally clean with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. The spine is tight and crisp, and the corners are square. Boards are clean, flat and true with no evidence of wear. Dust jacket is not price-clipped and shows minimal edge wear but does have some bumping to the upper spine and some creasing along the top and bottom edges on the back cover. A great-looking, affordable alternative to a true first! This highly collectible, fine/near fine, book club copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!

Harry Potter spent ten long years living with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, an aunt and uncle whose outrageous favoritism of their perfectly awful son Dudley leads to some of the most inspired dark comedy since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But fortunately for Harry, he's about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that's pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.

Arthur A. Levine Books, 1998. 1st Edition ARC 1st Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine/No Jacket as issued. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Mary GrandPré, cover art.. This book in pictorial wraps is the Advance Reader's Edition / Uncorrected Proof of the First US Hardcover Edition. 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 number line. This is the author's first book.

This is a fine copy of the first US edition with all of the important true first printing points present: The book has a red spine with purple boards, which says J.K. Rowling not just Rowling at the top, it has the numberline 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 and states that it is printed in the U.S.A. The dust jacket is the first state dust jacket whereby the title has raised gold letters, the spine does not have the number 1 on it and will show a quote on the rear of the jacket from The Guardian, not Publisher's weekly. It will also have the correct price of $16.95 on the inner front flap. The book is in fine condition, unread with clean, fresh white pages with no marks or inscriptions of any kind. The boards are square with sharp corners, a tight binding and no toning or foxing to the pages. It is pristine apart from some slight bruising to the spine base. The dust jacket is a perfect example in pristine condition without flaws. A true US first printing rarely found in such beautiful condition.

This is a gently-read copy from the "advance reader's edition" (uncorrected proof) produced for reviewers and other book industry insiders in advance of the publication of the first American edition of this first Harry Potter book in September 1998. This book is tight, clean, bright and has been stored in archival conditions. Please see my attached photos. Note the marketing plan included on the back cover which shows the first printing of the debut American edition was planned at a remarkably low 30,000 copies. The print run of this edition was certainly much lower than that and few remain in such perfect condition.
