The copy presented here is a first UK paperback edition, 24th printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone signed and inscribed by Jo in early 1999 'To Sam.' By this time Rowling had dispensed with using periods between J and K and had developed a more fluid signature allowing her to sign more books quickly in order to meet demand. Around this time Rowling was conducting many signing events at bookstores such as Waterstones and, because the Harry Potter Phenomenon had not yet taken off, she had more time to interact with fans and inscribe copies of books. This is an excellent near fine copy completely unread and with no colour fading, no creasing at all to the spine which is incredibly rare for this book. The page edges appear surprisingly fresh as these paperback copies are more often found with significant toning to the page edges due to the cheap paper stock used. The book still has a square and tight binding, some shelf wear to the edges and some minor creasing to the top left corner of the back cover. Internally, there are no ownership inscriptions or writing of any kind with no dog eared pages, folds or creases to any of the pages. The only minor flaw to the pages is some tiny spots of ink to the top right corners of the first few preliminary pages. Overall this is a fantastic copy with a beautiful bold signature inscribed 'To Sam.' The signature and inscription come fully authenticated by Adam Houston ‘theharrypotterspecialist’ the world’s leading expert in authenticating Jo’s signature. It comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card.

On arrival, the dedicatee was given a copy of the new book and, as he also had his copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (his class reading book) with him, J.K. Rowling signed both books at the end of the event.--- Check our website: We have the largest collection of rare and signed Harry Potter books for sale in mainland Europe --- Please contact us before purchasing to discuss the most suitable shipping method.

The copy presented here is a first English paperback edition, 27th printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It contains a 1999 variation of J.K. Rowling's signature and was signed to the dedication page in blue ballpoint pen ' To Lily, you will know that I love your name because I used it for Harry's mum!' Lily was the daughter of illustrator, Ian Beck, at the Hay Literary Festival. Ian knew the publicity and editorial team at Bloomsbury who introduced him to J.K. Rowling who was happy to inscribe this book for his daughter. This is a beautiful copy completely unread and with no colour fading and only very minor creasing to the spine. The page edges are surprising white and fresh which is incredibly rare for this book. They are often found with significant toning to the page edges due to the cheap paper stock used. It still has an incredibly tight binding, and hardly any bend or bowing to the front cover which is again very rare. The only minor flaw to the book is a slight nick to the base of the spine in the bottom right corner, otherwise this book is in fine condition. Internally, there are no ownership inscriptions or writing of any kind with no dog eared pages, folds or creases to any of the pages. The only flaw internally is a slight water stain to the bottom of the title page only. The book overall has clearly been very well looked after. The signature and inscription come fully authenticated by Adam Houston 'theharrypotterspecialist' the world's leading expert in authenticating Jo's signature. It comes with a full authentication package including a letter of authenticity and collector card. This book was previously owned by Adam himself having bought it in 2022 directly from the original owner. It comes with provenance in the form of an email and hand written letter by Ian Beck to Adam Houston.

Both books published by Bloomsbury in the first issued box set. Both volumes are signed by author J.K. Rowling on the respective half-title pages as shown. Chamber of Secrets is in addition inscribed “to Johnny” According to Philip Errington’s ‘J.K. Rowling: A Bibliogarphy’ (2017), the first Philosopher’ printing had a print run of only 500 copies; the second printing followed quickly with a run of 1,000 copies, followed by the third and fourth printing of 500 copies each only (p.4). Provenance: The signatures are consistant with how Rowling used to sign in 1998-99. Rowling did sign a few of those box sets for school children back in those years. The additional dedication by the author makes it easier to verify the signatures and handwriting. Condition: Philosopher is in near fine condition. It bears no previous owner’s scribbles, no stamps, no bookplates, pages are clean. The boards’ front top corner has a tiny bump as shown. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and a beautiful specimen, unfaded and showing the young wizard as called for. Chamber of Secrets is in fine condition The box is in near fine condition with only trivial shelf wear. This was the first box set that Bloomsbury published for the Harry Potter Saga. As more and more Harry Potters were published until 2007 the publisher – eager to capitalise on Potter-mania – isuued a new box set containing the latest book together with the volumes that had already been published. A nice set at fair value and genuinely signed by Rowling. Due to the extremely high value of signed UK first hardback first printings editions of ‘The Philosopher’s Stone’, the early reprints have also become highly collectable and valuable. First and Fine
