First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Toby, I met your Dad! J. K. Rowling". It is uncommon to encounter this title inscribed: Rowling did a signing tour for Goblet of Fire and the vast majority of autographed copies were simply signed.
Rowling inscribed this copy in the month of publication for the son of one of the producers of Simon Mayo's BBC Radio 1 show, after being interviewed on the show. In her interview, she mused on what she would write after the Potter series was completed and discussed her experiences with the media, as well the choice of actor for the role of Harry Potter in the film adaptation of Philosopher's Stone.
Octavo. Original pictorial boards. With dust jacket.
Small mark to fore edge, front inner hinge partly split, but firm; jacket bright with minor creasing at head of spine: a very good copy in like jacket.
Errington A9(a).
