ROWLING, J.K. (b. 1965)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. London: Bloomsbury, 1997
First edition, paperback issue, of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

One of 5150 copies of the paperback issue, published simultaneously with the hardback, which would birth a literary and cultural phenomenon. In this first book in the series of seven, we follow Harry as his life quickly and radically shifts from that of an 'ordinary boy' with the Dursleys to the enchanting, exhilarating world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry uncovers the secrets of his past, makes friends that will steer the direction of his future, and confronts the dark legacy of those who preceded him. The iconic covers, designed by Thomas Taylor and depicting the young Harry Potter with the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 3/4, are arguably the most recognisable of any book of the last 50 years.

Octavo. (Light browning as usual). Publisher's pictorial stiff wrappers (some creasing, light wear to edges, small area of laminate lifting at fore-edge of upper cover).
