First edition, first impression, paperback issue, of the first Harry Potter book. Both paperback and hardback issues of the first impression were published on 26 June 1997. This is one of 5,150 copies in wrappers, with all the points distinguishing the first impression: a Bloomsbury imprint, the 10-down-to-1 number line, the list of equipment on page 53 with "1 wand" appearing twice in the list, and the misprint "Philospher's" on the back cover. Errington A1(aa); Grolier Children's 100, 100. Octavo. Original illustrated wrappers, spine and front wrapper lettered in white, yellow, dark green, and black. Housed in a red quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery. Extremities and corners a little rubbed, negligible creases to spine, minor tear to head of front wrapper, leaves toned as usual: a near-fine copy. Seller Inventory # 174983
