Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone Pb Book, Rare First Edition 38th Print,
Item History & Price
Very rare Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone paper back book, original Bloomsbury UK printing, first edition copy - 38th print. Published in 1997 by Bloomsbury with the mistake of copyright Joanne Rowling and not J K Rowling. The back cover has the young, dark haired Dumbledore.
Here is a list of the mistakes and what they were corrected to -
Page 15, line 3 - “he tried to kill the Potter’s son” changed to “he tried to kill the Potters’ son”
Pag...e 17, lines 31-32 - “I’ll be takin’ Sirius his bike back” changed to “I’d best get this bike away”
Page 31, line 34 - deletion of an unnecessary single comma at the beginning of the sentence
Page 52, line 35 - “A Beginners’ Guide” changed to “A Beginner’s Guide”
Page 56, lines 17-18 - “seventeen sickles an ounce” changed to “sixteen sickles an ounce”
Page 72, line 25 - “a shiny silver badge” changed to “a shiny red and gold badge”
Page 87, line 31 - “Hogwarts, a History” changed to “Hogwarts: A History”
Page 92, line 22 - “four hundred years” changed to “five hundred years”
Page 101, line 4 - “head of Gryffindor house” changed to “Head of Gryffindor House”
Page 147, lines 7-8 - “looking forward to next day” changed to “looking forward to the next day”
Page 168, lines 9-10 - “One Hundred Magical Herbs” changed to “One Thousand Magical Herbs”
Page 193, line 27 - “that’s the pub” changed to “that’s one of the pubs”
Page 205, line 3 - “you go next to him” changed to “you go there”
Page 205, line 32 - “I take one step forward and she’ll take me” changed to “I’ll make my move and she’ll take me”
The spine has some creases as does the front cover but for its age it’s in great condition.
Any questions just ask
Away until 6th August, so will post when back
