Bloomsbury, London - first edition, first impression. The scarce first printing of the second Harry Potter novel - full number line to '1' to the copyright page. A nice copy with one notable flaw and priced accordingly. Very Good: firm and square binding in sharp pictorial laminated boards; a little pushing to the spine tips and a tiny rub to one corner; toned to the edge of the page block with a trace of faint spotting to the top-edge; the original owner has boldly decorated the title page with her name and school class in purple highlighter pen, with bleed through to the verso of the page (see photos) - this is the only such writing or marking in the book; a couple of tiny spots to the margin, else internally very clean. The unclipped dustwrapper (priced �10.99 and with all the correct points) is Very Good+: vibrant colours, very slightly faded to the spine; some wrinkling to the ends of the spine and to the corner tips; free from tears; presented in a removable, archival-quality Brodart protective cover. All orders are sent very carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and sturdy cardboard.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The book centers around Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his quest to uncover the mystery surrounding the Chamber of Secrets.

Look for the number line that includes '1' and the mention of 'Joanne Rowling' instead of 'J.K. Rowling'
