Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, inscribed second print, with Letter of Authenticity from the Harry Potter Specialist

Beschreibung

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, JK Rowling, signed second print paperback; Bloomsbury 1997. Inscribed on a bookplate to the title page with the words: 'To Laura who knows my aunty Marian! Hope you like the second Harry as much as the first - JK Rowling'. The signature is a 1998 signature. With Letter of Authenticity from The Harry Potter Specialist (Adam Houston), who only specialises in authenticating JK Rowling's signature. This rarely-seen style of bookplate can be found in a few other signed Harry Potter books, including a third print hardback Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone put up for auction in July 2023 at Sotheby's auction house, London. Other examples exist - this was presumably a bookplate personally used by JK Rowling circa 1997 to 1998. The book come with a letter from the original owner and recipient - photos can be supplied. Marian - referred to by the author in the bookplate - is Jo's aunt Marian Fox. Book is in very good condition, with no sunning to the spine, which has no reading crease. Book is square and firm. No tears to any of the pages and no dog-eared pages. One light crease to rear cover; a couple of light creases to front cover; slightly worn bottom corner of front cover; laminate starting to lift at the edge, but only slightly. Name and address (the original owner) partially erased to verso of cover; letters in pen to half title page; letters to final blank; light pen marks to verso of rear cover. Light water marks to bottom edge of front cover verso. A very good and highly collectable copy of a very hard to find signed second print paperback.
