317pp. 1999. First edition, first impression (second issue). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. Second issue with J.K. Rowling on verso of the title page and no advertisements at the rear. Has the number '1' in the number string to the copyright page. A lovely, fresh, clean, tight very well preserved copy in similar jacket. It has never been read. Sold to me over twelve years ago by a book distributor/seller who deliberately kept it by. I too have been maturing it like a fine wine. A wonderfully bright copy. No fading to the jacket. Perhaps the slightest of bumps to the leading edge of the lower front board. The jacket has obviously not been price-clipped (�10.99). A super, fresh, clean, tight and bright well preserved first impression, second state copy that has never been read.
