[Fantasy] ALL FIRST EDITIONS, FIRST PRINTINGS, IN DELUXE BINDINGS, with the three supplemental works. Volume I SIGNED by the artist Thomas Taylor, in black ink to front cover. Together ten volumes, octavo (26 x 17 x 36cm). Original uniform harlequin cloth (7 vols), with gilt decoration, illustrations to upper covers, and all edges gilt (some in shrinkwrap). Additional volumes (3 vols) in publisher's illustrated covers. Volumes II to VII in shrink-wrap, as-new; volume one a fine copy. The deluxe issue is a larger format, in decorative cloth binding. Harry Potter's award-winning wizarding adventures have had an unrivalled impact in popular culture today; indeed, some experts have referred to adults between the ages of roughly 20-30 years old as 'the Harry Potter generation', who are seen to hold markedly different values to their parents. Harry Potter is a series of many genres, including fantasy, bildungsroman, and the British school story (which includes elements of mystery, thriller, adventure, and romance). According to Rowling, the main theme of the books is death - although prejudice, corruption, and madness can be seen as dominant motifs.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Very likely the only signed set in existence of the original first Canadian Raincoast editions, first printings of the last three parts of the Harry Potter series, combined with a scarce signed first edition, first printing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The latter was personally donated in 2000 by Raincoast Publishing's owner, Allan MacDougall, for a silent auction at the Toronto Book Lovers Ball; an annual black-tie fundraiser event sponsored by the Toronto Public Library Foundation. Books 5-7 from the series (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) were personally signed by J.K. Rowling for Geoffrey E. Taylor, the artistic director of the International Festival of Authors in Toronto. Taylor arranged J.K. Rowling s visits to Canada in both 2000 and 2007. Since Rowling did not visit Canada during the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 2003 and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 2005, no other signed Canadian copies of these two titles are known to exist. Furthermore, all known copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that J.K. Rowling signed during her visit to this festival in Toronto in 2007 are English Bloomsbury editions with a dust jacket from the Canadian publisher. However, this set includes an original signed Canadian Raincoast first edition, first printing, making it a unique signed copy. All four books are in near-pristine, unread condition with near-pristine unclipped dust jackets and come with a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and a collector card containing interesting background information by J.K. Rowling signature expert Adam Houston of The Harry Potter Specialist. We welcome direct contact with our customers to discuss the purchase of this unique set. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. GrandPré, Mary (illustrator). 1st Edition. It is notoriously difficult for collectors to find signed copies of the American editions of books 4, 5 and 6. This particular book is a first printing and was signed at the event titled 'An evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp' which was also attended by authors Stephen King and John Irving in New York City in 2006. First and second printings of the book were signed in thick black marker and it was the first time Rowling had visited the United States and signed books since she made a brief visit in 2000. This was the only event at which J.K. Rowling signed copies of the US edition of Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince whereby a limited number of VIP 'family packages' were offered at $1000 each which included 4 premium orchestra seats and a set of 3 signed books- one from each of the authors. The book and dust jacket are in pristine condition with no fading at all, the pages are clean with no inscriptions or marks of any kind. The book is unread, the boards are square with sharp corners with no foxing to the text block at all. A beautiful example of a book and dust jacket in perfect condition. It comes housed in a green clamshell box made purposely for this book, with the title and author's name printed in gold leaf to the spine. The signature comes 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. Signed by Author(s).

First editions of the deluxe edition of each book in Rowling's Harry Potter series. Octavo, 7 volumes, illustrated, original decorative cloth as issued. Each volume is signed by J.K. Rowling on the title page and was signed by Rowling in person for the previous owner. The Prisoner of Azkaban is inscribed. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is additionally signed on the title page by Thomas Taylor with an original drawing of Harry Potter. When Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was in the initial stages of publication in 1996, illustrator Thomas Taylor had just graduated from art school and was working at Heffers Childrenâs Bookshop in Cambridge. At Heffers, Taylor educated himself on the childrenâs book market and its major publishers and decided to submit a portfolio of his illustrations to the offices of Bloomsbury Publishing, including several drawings of dragons and wizards. Taylor heard back from Bloomsburyâs editor, Barry Cunningham (who had recently decided to take a chance on publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopherâs Stone after it had been rejected by twelve other publishers) almost immediately. Cunningham phoned him at Heffers and asked if he could create a design for the cover of a relatively unknown authorâs first book about a schoolboy wizard. He sent Taylor an incomplete manuscript of the book and, after two days, Taylor had a final product: a watercolor painting of a young Harry Potter with his lightning-bolt scar standing next to the Hogwarts Express on Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. In fine condition. No dust jackets were issued for these volumes. Scarce and desirable. Since the release of the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, on 26 June 1997, the books have found immense popularity, critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide. The books have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, making them the best-selling book series in history, and have been translated into seventy-three languages. The last four books consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history, with the final installment selling roughly eleven million copies in the United States within twenty-four hours of its release. The Harry Potter series has been recognized by a host of awards since the initial publication of Philosopher's Stone including four Whitaker Platinum Book Awards (all of which were awarded in 2001), three Nestlà Smarties Book Prizes (1997â"1999),[109] two Scottish Arts Council Book Awards (1999 and 2001), the inaugural Whitbread children's book of the year award (1999), the WHSmith book of the year (2006), among others. In 2000, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel, and in 2001, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire won said award. Honors include a commendation for the Carnegie Medal (1997), a short listing for the Guardian Children's Award (1998), and numerous listings on the notable books, editors' Choices, and best books lists of the American Library Association, The New York Times, Chicago Public Library, and Publishers Weekly. Also the basis for the eight fantasy films, beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows â" Part 2 (2011). The series was mainly produced by David Heyman, and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson as the three leading characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger.
