Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8436802 | ISBN: Does not apply |
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a rare 38th 1st edition print of the philosophers stone. There are very many publishing errors from this early edition all of which I will detail in this listing. This book is in fantastic condition as you can see from the photos. Brilliant opportunity to add to a collectors collection and will only increase in value as time goes on.
First obvious mistake is J.K Rowling name has been printed as Joanne Rowling. Which has been corrected in ...later books.
The rest are as follows. to -
Page 15, line 3 - “he tried to kill the Potter’s son” changed to “he tried to kill the Potters’ son”
Page 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 books illustration was by Thomas Taylor and this is evident as an early edition as there is a darker haired Dumbledore at the back of the book. This is a truly magnificant piece.
