London: Bloomsbury, 1999. First edition, first state, with "Joanne Rowling" to copyright page, and "enjoyed being/burnt/so much" to p. [7]. 8vo. Publisher's pictorial boards; in matching pictorial dust-jacket with 10.99 price to front flap, spine panel with just a touch of fading. A beautiful copy of the third installment in Rowling's Harry Potter series, exceedingly scarce in the first state, which identifies the author as "Joanne Rowling" on the copyright page (in the second and later states her name is corrected to "J. K. Rowling"). As Errington notes, "The book trade has generally thought that there were 2,500 copies of the first issue. The total edition consisting of all three states is 5,150 copies based on figures provided by the publisher." Errington A7(a).
