In celebration of the coming release of the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II, I offer this complete set of 7 Harry Potter first trade editions - first printings! (there are
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling Hardcover First US Edition – First Printing – First State with all the necessary issue points: numberline down to "1", purple
diamond design boards and a bright red cloth spine, "JK ROWLING" on the spine of book and jacket, $16.95 price, Guardian London quote on the back. A good above-average copy, not pristine, but I would grade it at near fine in fine- dustjacket. Generally very clean, possibly read once or twice, but very little reading wear is noticeable. Pages are very clean and bright for the
most part. The first state dust jacket is completely intact, no tearing. Hint of edgewear to the top of the dj spine and a nick to front right-hand top corner. It does have some shelf-wear to the bottom, a bit of a nick on the bottom of the right-hand corner of the cloth, about 1/4", and a hint of darkening of the paste-down on the inside of the front board where I believe a book plate had been, now removed. Still in above-average condition. If this copy were in near-perfect condition, I would be asking $1500 for the book alone, and full-time dealer price would be $2000+.

NOTE: All modern books with dustjackets come with dustjacket covers.
ALSO: The picture is the actual item for sale. (The picture is NOT a stock photo.)
NOTE on FEEDBACK: If you have problem with an order for any reason, please contact me before leaving feedback! 99% of the time we can resolve the problem. It is much more difficult to change feedback once left.
A Word on First Editions: 95% of my offerings are trade editions, and 90% of those are first printings. In general I do NOT sell bookclub editions or cheap reprints like Modern Library except in rare instances which would be explicitly stated as such. In general, I also DO NOT sell x-library copies.
If the book is both a first edition AND a first printing, it will be marked as “first edition” in the Item Specifics under “Special Attributes”, otherwise assume a later printing or a later edition.
NOTE on USPS Shipping: The US Post has graciously increased their rates!
Winning bidder agrees to add $20.00 for shipping and signed confirmation in the U.S. only via media mail (1-3 weeks). Make sure your current address is on Ebay and/or Paypal!
All books are bubble-wrapped, and those costing over $50 will be placed in a box. My shipping costs are slightly more than others because I use dust jacket covers, bubble-wrap, and boxes. The extra $1 or so is worth it to protect your book!
FYI, media mail is a discount shipping rate for books and CD's. It is not the same as first class mail, and you can't expect items to arrive in the same time frame. They typically take 1 1/2 to 3 weeks. Items shipped media mail take longer than a letter which is first class.
PLEASE contact me if you would like a reduction in shipping costs for multiple purchases sent to a single address. (not always possible with international shipping.)
ATTENTION Canadian and International customers: $125 international M-Bag shipping with required tracking. (I now require international tracking on all items over $50) There may be a delay, sometimes an additional 1 to 8 weeks, if your package is inspected by your country's custom's inspectors. I cannot be responsible (and I have no control over) delays due to customs inspections. It is best to find out your country's policies in this regard.
Any further questions, please email me. I try my very best to accurately describe condition. Disputes in condition of items must be resolved within 15 days of shipment of item.
