London: Bloomsbury, 1997. First Edition. Hard Cover. (London: Bloomsbury Publishing 1997). First UK HARDBACK EDITION FIRST ISSUE. All first edition first issue points are present: ISBN: 0 7475 3269 9. Printing number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1; Wendy Cooling blurb to the front board; 'wand' appears twice on page 53; 'Philosopher's' is mis-spelt 'Philospher's' to the back board and; 'Wizardry and Witchcraft' [rather than Witchcraft and Wizardry'] to the back board. This copy was formerly owned by a primary school in Leicestershire which closed its doors on January 1, 2003. It has a neat rectangular stamp to the front free end-paper as its only evidence of having formerly been owned by a school. This is a VG copy with a slight spine lean. No fading whatsoever to the spine. Slightly pushed spine tips. A touch of rubbing and minor wear to the extremities. The rear board has a couple of faint creases and there are faint scratches in places to both the front and back boards. Lifting of the laminate in just one or two places. The page block has the inevitable toning due to the poor quality of paper used. Page 19 through 21 have just the faintest damp stain to the right hand corner (hardly worth mentioning). Really clean pages. No inscriptions. The boards are really bright and vibrant and overall this is a solid VG copy. Not issued with a D/W. The hardback first edition is of legendary scarcity this being one of 300 copies that were sent to schools and libraries. It is a TOTALLY HONEST COPY with ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE 'DREADED' RESTORATION OR 'TOUCHING UP' WHATSOEVER AND IS IN NICE SHELVABLE CONDITION. Please note: Although this has a school ownership stamp to the front free end-paper this is NOT an ex-library copy. This book is housed in a stunning, bespoke, red half-leather clamshell box. Photographs/scans available upon request.
