J.K. Rowling. A Complete set of (7) Signed Hardcover First Editions of the Harry Potter Series, Including the Rare Hardback Issue (one of 500 copies) of the First Printing of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. London (1997-2007). A complete collection of (7) "Harry Potter" first edition books, all seven hardcover volumes signed by J.K. Rowling, three signed on the front cover by the respective illustrators. Comprising:
(1) J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. [London] Bloomsbury, 1997. First Edition, First Printing. Octavo. Signed on the dedication page by J.K. Rowling. Colour pictorial boards by illustrator Thomas Taylor. With the tell-tale issue points including Bloomsbury publisher to the bottom of the title page; print line to copyright page reading "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1"; and "1 wand" printing error to the school supplies list on page 53. One of only 500 hardcover first edition, first printing copies to be published, according to the publishers as many as 300 of these copies were distributed to school libraries.
