Harry Potter: First 4 books in original box (3 1st printings) HB/DJ 1st/1st Publisher: Scholastic, 1998 Rowling, J. Harry Potter – The first four books in the original box (three 1st printings). There are no Book Clubs, reprints, or ex-library editions. These are the real deal. The first book is a scarce and expensive seventh printing and the rest are true first edition first printing. A wonderful set for any library. Here is a set of the first four Harry Potter books in an as-new (minor scuffs) Scholastic Harry Potter Collection box. #1 is a 7th printing. #2, #3, & #4 are first editions first printings (see the details below). These books are all in great shape. They are all US editions published by Scholastic. Each book has the quilted boards of the retail editions. Each is detailed below. Harry Potter and the Philosopher? S Stone (1st Edition 7th printing – With the expected number line 7 9 10 8 8 9/9 0/0 01 02)? The book is in Near Fine- with a bit of spotting and a bump on the top edge. The book is in a Near Fine jacket. This is an excellent copy of an early printing.

The book has 4 square corners. There is no writing or marks in the book. This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight. The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. Pictures are NOT stock photos. If the book has a dust jacket : (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart. Thus refers to the first printing of a new edition of a book. TPB refers to a trade paperback edition. Trade paperbacks are oversized paperback editions. PBO (Paperback Original) means this is a first edition/first printing paperback, which is also the first time this book was published (the true first edition of this book). ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) means this was a limited edition paperback (usually paperback) copy of a soon to be released hard back book. BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I’d like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell. Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine. I don’t use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book. A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new. A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN. This item is in the category “Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible”.
