Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 1st Edition Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket
1999
Scholastic hardcover, stated first American edition, first printing
(number line reads 10 9 8 76 5 4 3 2 1, printing year 9/9; see photo,
which shows actual item), w/ dust jacket, not price-clipped. Dust
jacket, now enclosed in removable mylar protector, has $19.95 price on
front flap and slight, inconspicuous crumpling at top and bottom of
spine. Would be very good but for some rubbing and edgewear to
cloth of cover, perhaps due to the book having been removed from its
dust jacket while it was being read. It also has a crease in the
spine cloth and slight, inconspicuous handling wear to the page edges.
Tight binding, no owner's name or other marks and no missing, torn,
soiled, or dogeared pages. No bumping or bent corners.
Note: You'll find an excellent member-written guide to identifying true first editions of Harry Potter books on eBay.
