In the run up to the Christmas of 1998, Bloomsbury released The Harry Potter Gift Set. The set was originally released containing a 4th printing copy of Philosopher's Stone and a 7th printing copy of Chamber of Secrets which is the set you see here. The set can also be found containing a 5th printing copy of Philosopher's Stone and a 10th printing copy of Chamber of Secrets. J.K. Rowling signed a small number of copies of the first 4th/7th set to help promote their sale for the holiday season. The set presented here contains signatures signed to their title pages in black ballpoint pen. Both books are housed in a publishers illustrated card slipcase which is priced at £21.99. The slipcase, books and dust jackets are in pristine condition with no fading at all, the pages are bright and clean with no obvious toning to the page edges, no inscriptions or marks or any kind. The books are unread, the boards are square with sharp corners with no foxing of any kind. Both signatures with the books come fully authenticated by Adam Houston theHarryPotterspecialist the world's leading expert in authenticating Jo's signature. The set comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card. This is an extremely rare set to find signed in this condition.
