Beschreibung:
This early-2000s variation of J.K. Rowling's signature signed in blue ballpoint pen to the half title page of a first UK edition, 10th printing copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. At this point, J.K. Rowling was no longer conducting large scale public signing events, however a limited number of copies were signed and distributed from her office for select purposes such as charity fundraising. Authentically signed hardback copies of Philosopher's Stone, pre 18th printings with the younger, brown beard wizard on the rear cover are especially sought after and more scarce to find in commerce.
This is a beautiful early 10th impression, signed by J.K. Rowling in near fine condition in a near fine dust jacket without colour fading. The book itself has a tight and square binding with some minor bruising to the spine tip and base. Internally there are no dog eared pages and no unwanted marks or ownership inscriptions. There is some minor spotting to the title and half title pages only, but very little toning to the book's page edges which is rare to see in these early books, which were printed with cheaper paper stock.
The signature comes fully authenticated by Adam Houston 'The Harry Potter Specialist,' 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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 265

Rowling's signature signed in blue ballpoint pen to the half title page of a first UK edition, 33rd printing copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. Grandpré, Mary (illustrator). 1st Edition. This is a third printing UK copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It is a highly sought after copy as it is the first copy to be released with a dust jacket. With the first and second printings often out of reach for the average collector, this more affordable third printing is a great addition to anyones collection. The dust jacket for the third printing is unique in that it is slightly more purple in colour than the blue of the rear board of the book. Subsequent dust jackets on later printings are more of a blue colour matching the blue on the book. Often third printing books are sold with later printing dust jackets as the slight difference in colour is the only thing that can tell them apart. This is a true third printing dust jacket. The book itself is in fine condition, a near perfect copy without any colour fading. It is unread, the binding is tight, the boards are square with sharp corners and the pages are a bright white, clean and free from any toning, creases, ownership inscriptions or dog eared pages. There is also no colour fading at all to the dust jacket which is unclipped and in pristine condition. The book comes housed in a custom made red quarter leather clamshell box with bespoke gold lettering to the spine. This copy comes with a loose Bloomsbury bookplate signed by J.K. Rowling, not yet stuck down into the book, but fully authenticated as a genuine signature by Adam Houston, The Harry Potter Specialist. As well as the clamshell box and signed bookplate, this book also comes with a full authenticity package that includes a Letter of Authenticity and Collector Card. Signed by Author(s).
