You are looking at a FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING, SIGNED copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. Rowling and published by Scholastic!
This is NOT a book club edition! The book meets ALL 1st printing issue points. This book was signed at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville, Illinois during J.
Rowling's FIRST US tour in October 1998. Sorcerer's Stone was released September 1, 1998. The signature in this book is a clear example of her 1998 tour signature which, in US books, can only be found on first and second printing copies of Sorcerer's Stone. Unlike her second tour in 1999 (which saw thousands of fans at every signing), her first tour brought 50 to a few hundred fans at only a handful of stops.
There were not many who knew about Harry Potter or J. Anderson's Bookshop had roughly 100 fans for their signing. The book is in VG to VG+ condition. The book has been read. The spine is tight with the top having some light shelf wear. The corners are lightly worn but still sharp (see all photos). The front and back boards have a little color bleeding which transferred onto the jacket.This is a common occurrence fond on these books. There is no writing in or on the book except the beautiful signature! The first edition dust jacket has some minor wear and crinkling. The jacket is NOT price clipped, showing the 16.95 price tag as well as the Guardian blurb on the back and J. Rowling (not ROWLING) on the spine.
The book and jacket are stored in an archive quality bag for protection from dust and moisture. Please review all photos above. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like.
