An early fifteenth impression of the true first edition, with the number-string sequence 20 19 18 17 16 15 at the bottom of the printer's page. Only "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is listed as 'also available', indicating a 1998 printing date. With Joanne Rowling as the copyright holder and a picture of the Young Wizard on the back board. ***Please note that there is no dustwrapper with this copy. ***A good only copy in pictorial colour illustrated boards. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine and top corner tips slightly creased. There is a slight reading lean to the binding, but the spine is tight. Page block edges quite heavily tanned. Internally also good with no inscriptions. Pages clean but tanned as usual. No tears, but there is a light vertical crease to the edge of the title page, and top corner areas of some of the pages are also creased (please see scans). The binding gutter at the title page is slightly strained due to the cheap binding quality of these books. The colours of the book are extremely bright and unfaded (please see scans). No dustwrapper with this copy. ***223 pages. 206mm x 136mm. ***An early fifteenth impression of the true first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in good original condition - albeit with the above mentioned faults. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
