Complete Set of Signed Harry Potter Deluxe Editions
J.K. Rowling
Ref. 095432
Published By: Bloomsbury 1999 - 2007 (London)
A wonderful complete set of the Harry Potter deluxe editions. All first editions, and presumed first printings, supplied to a book shop at the time of release. All in the original cellophane wrap, with just slight damage to the wrapper on Philosopher's Stone, otherwise all in fine condition. Very unusually all have an accompanying signed official Bloomsbury book plate. All are in fine condition. Also included is a hand written note on official Bloomsbury compliment slip card referencing the book plates, stating 'Dear Christine, I hope these prove useful in promotion of the new Harry Potter. Best Wishes R'. Overall a truly exemplary set, a fantastic investment for any serious Harry Potter collection. Notoriously hard to find unopened, and almost heard of with signed book plates kept separately alongside - ordinarily they would have been tipped in to the book to help promote sales.
