Here we offer the stated first Canadian paperback edition, 13th printing, of the classic novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, (known in the US as "...Sorcerer's Stone,") by J. K. Rowling, published by Bloomsbury for Raincoast Books in 2000. Also included in the sale is an attractive collection of ephemera: a laminated map of Hogwarts Castle, Harry's Hogwarts acceptance letter with necessaries list, and a train ticket to Hogwarts.
This copy includes the page 53 misprint listing a wand twice on Harry's Hogwarts required equipment list, though the "1 wand" misprint is NOT an indicator of priority.
This is the second form, with the white-haired wizard. It also includes these first "points," or features, identifying a first edition:
Wraps have light wear (please see pics). Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright, and crisp text. 223 pages, plus a page of ads. The book measures approximately 7.75 x 5-inches.
This early printing of a Harry Potter first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a marvelous gift.
