------------( later printing of the First Raincoast Edition ) ----hardcover, about 5.25w x 8h inches, a visually Near Fine example but there is browning to the paper and foxing to the edges of the text block, small marks and small stains on the front blank endpaper, in a Fair to POOR dustjacket which looks quite nice in the mylar protector BUT ( AND IT'S a BIG BUT!!) there is considerable STAINING to the verso of the jacket (and in fact I would recommend you throwing the jacket away but that's your choice!! --- has a paper backing so the stain and "ick" is covered and is not in contact with the actual book) , a bit of age toning to paper, ---no writing in the book, ---number line shows this as the 6th printing but it is actually the 5th Canadian printing as the true Canadian First had a number line that started with a 2, this early edition contains two errors: Line 1, page 8 has "highchair" instead of "high chair"; and on page 53 in the list of "Other Equipment" needed for Hogwart's School, " 1 wand " is listed twice ---errors that were corrected in later printings, the upper portion of the spine and the rear panel show the young magician ( NOT Dumbledore ), copyright page states Joanne not "J.K.Rowling", --this early edition shows Bloomsbury on the title and copyright page BUT has Raincoast only on the lower spine tip of the book and the rear panel shows Raincoast and $19.95 beside the UK ISBN barcode, ---as well this has a Bloomsbury ISBN on the copyright page---, this early edition (6th printing) lists Chamber of Secrets only as other books by JKR while the 7th printings and later list more titles, --- -the 7th printing was also the first time RC used their own ISBN and not the Bloomsbury ISBN so this is the last CDN issue with the Bloomsbury ISBN, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo, ///NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)--- Size: 5.25w x 8h Inches

A twenty-fifth impression of the true first edition with number-string sequence 25 26 27 28 29 30 at the bottom of the printer's page. Only "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is listed as 'also available', indicating a 1998 printing date. ***Very good in pictorial colour illustrated boards. The boards are clean and unmarked, with virtually no fading even to the spine colours. The head and tail of the spine are creased. Corners sharp - just slightly scuffed at the corner tips. There is a forward lean to the binding. Page block edges clean with no foxing. Internally also very good with an ownership name on the front free endpaper. No other annotations. None of the straining to the gutter of the page block at the title page which is often found due to the cheap binding quality of these books. No internal foxing - interior pages clean. The cheap paper stock is tanned as usual. The colours of the book are extremely bright and unfaded. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £10.99 on the front flap. The dustwrapper is virtually complete, but there is slight loss at the top and tail of the spine, and some rubbing and creasing to the edges. No chips or tears. There is some sun-fading to the colours on the spine - mainly to the purple which has faded to blue (please see scans). ***223 pages. 206mm x 136mm. ***An early twenty-fifth impression of the true first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in its original dustwrapper, in very good original condition, albeit with the above-mentioned faults. Being such a popular children's book, copies in nice condition are far from easy to find now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
