Auteur Joanne Rowling/J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the prisonor of azkaban, eerste staat van de eerste druk - 1999

FIRST CONDITION of the first printing, first printing of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in a beautiful original dust jacket. Number line of 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 , omitted text error (In the uncorrected proof of the book sent to reviewers, the word 'burnt' on page 7 was misspelled as 'burnd'. While correcting, per accidentally pressed the "Enter" key, causing the rest of the sentence to move to the next line) and credited Joanne Rowling on the copyright page.

According to Bloomsbury, approximately 2,500 copies of the First State were printed [see Errington, p. 135] . Most of these examples have been included in collections over the past twenty years and are very rarely offered for sale. The total number of copies of the first 3 states is 5,150. It is said that the number of 2,500 of the first issue was overestimated and that fewer than 500 were printed.

This unread copy is in beautiful condition. The planks have vibrant colours, only very slightly bumped spine ends, corners and corners are sharp without any wear or signs of use.
The binding is very tight, even a little crispy when opened. The pages have light toning which is to be expected with this book. This is due to the paper used. There is a light spot on the title page. Furthermore, the book has no dog-ears or inscriptions.

A unique opportunity to add this beautiful, scarce specimen to your collection.
