Bloomsbury, London. First edition, first impression - full number line to '1'; second state crediting J. K. Rowling to the copyright page, not 'Joanne Rowling'. Very Good+: firm and square binding in sharp pictorial laminated boards; fading to the tips of the top-edge and fore-edge of the upper board; minute rub to the bottom corner of the upper board; a touch of pushing/wrinkling to the spine tips; tanned to the edge of the page block (a common occurrence due to the publisher's choice of poor-quality paper); a tiny water droplet has faintly lightened and rippled the top corner of half-a-dozen leaves; one minor corner crease; else, internally bright and clean and free from marks, foxing/spots, and previous owner names and inscriptions. The unclipped dustwrapper (�10.99 stated) is Fine: crisp, vibrant and unfaded; 1mm closed nick to the top of the lower panel; presented in a removable, archival-quality Brodart protective cover.
