First Edition. -------------( 1st printing of the First Raincoast [and Canadian ] softcover edition ) ---softcover, about 5w x 7.75h inches, visually a Near Fine example but there is an ink name on the half title page that has been blacked out, that blacked out name has made some bleed through to the title page (SEE SCANS ), a hint of age toning to paper, a wee bit of rubbing to edges, overall a Very Good+ example ---this is a Bloomsbury edition with the UK price on rear panel and UK publishing info on copyright page although the copyright page states Printed and Bound in Canada by Webcom, copyright page shows 1997 but the list of books by JKR includes CHAMBER of SECRETS which was released in 1999, ---this is the 1st Raincoast softcover printing with a number line that starts with a 2 (as it should) --- this early edition contains two errors which only occur in very early printings of this book: Line 1, page 8 has "highchair" instead of "high chair"; and on page 53 in the list of "Other Equipment" needed for Hogwart's School, " 1 wand " is listed twice ---errors that were corrected in later printings, as well the upper portion of the spine and rear panel show the young Dumbledore ( or is it another wizard ?) which was replaced in later printings with a more traditional older wizard who is clearly Dumbledore, copyright page states Joanne not "J.K.", ---really quite scarce, any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo /// NOT SIGNED ---GUARANTEED to be AVAILABLE/// ---sizes are approximate (generally within 1/8 inch)--- Size: 5w x 7.75h Inches.
