This is a TRUE FIRST of the US edition of HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE by J.K. Rowling, the first Harry Potter book. THIS COPY IS NOT IN THE GREATEST CONDIITON, as you'll read below and see in the photos, but it is a very rare FIRST STATE copy with all the Points-of-Issue: 1) Red quarter cloth and purple diamond patterned boards with gilt letering on spine, 2) No volume number on spine of book or DJ, 3) Top spine of book and DJ has "J. K. / Rowling" on two lines, unlike later printings which have simply "Rowling," 4) Full number line, as listed above, with 1 present, 5) Number 51695 above bar code on back panel, 6) Blurb on back panel is from The Guardian, rather than the Publisher's Weekly blurb which appears on later printings.

Red quarter cloth and purple checkered boards with gilt lettering on spine, some of the gilt on spine is faded mostly in center, the "J.K" at top of spine is quite faded but a little is still visible, all corners are quite worn, spine ends a bit worn and faded, pages bright and clean, previous owner's name in pencil on FFEP, binding a little mushy, DJ has wear and wrinkling to top spine but the "J. K." is still moslty visible, moderate wear and tears to top two corners, very light wear to lower corners, other two corners have very light wear, front and back panels are very clean, attractive and presentable. A well- read copy of a pretty rare book. ISBN: 0590353403. NOT ex-library, NOT book club, NOT remaindered.
