Title: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Author: Rowling, J.K.
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: London: Bloomsbury, 1997 First paperback edition, first printing (number line 10 to 1), with no space between "Taylor" and "1997" on the seventh line of the copyright page, and "1 wand" printed twice in the list below "Other Equipment" on p. 53. According to Errington, "Both hardback (A1(a)) and paperback (A1(aa)) were published on the same date and neither has bibliographical priority." One of 5,150 copies. Publisher's pictorial wrappers illustrated by Thomas Taylor, with yellow, black, and white lettering, and young wizard to rear panel. Very good, with bright and clean wrappers, light wear to spine ends, minimal edgewear, a small puncture to rear wrapper ("£4.99" mostly effaced), light creases to some pages, tiny loss to half-title page and p. 53 (text unaffected), and a closed tear and light yellow staining to p. 121. Overall, a superb copy of the first Harry Potter book. Housed in a custom red clamshell box. Errington A1(aa). First published in 1997, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first book in the Harry Potter heptalogy. It introduces both Harry and readers alike to the secret, magical world of witches and wizards in Great Britain. It also sets the stage for the six subsequent novels by familiarizing readers with the villainous Lord Voldemort and how his and Harry's fates are inevitably intertwined. Although often regarded as a children's novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone topped adult reading charts in the UK, and in the United States, where it was published under the alternate title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Notably, the first printing of this book in hardcover format is exceedingly rare; only 500 copies were printed, of which about 300 ended up in libraries. Despite its small print run, the book was an immediate success, and went through dozens of print runs within the first few years after publication. . First Paperback Edition. Paperback. Very Good.

Description: New Haven: Hezekiah Howe, 1829. Jones was a Yale graduate who shipped as schoolmaster aboard the frigate "Brandywine" in 1825, under Charles Morris. One of his navigation students on that voyage was Matthew Fontaine Maury. After conveying Lafayette home from his visit to the United States, the "Brandywine" joined the Mediterranean Squadron under Commodore John Rodgers, where Jones was transferred to the "Constitution." These two volumes are an account of that voyage, told in the form of 67 detailed letters, each of which is dated and contains multiple entries, as in a sea journal. Jones must have found life at sea to his liking. After returning to the states in 1828, he became a Navy Chaplain serving on several ships, about which he wrote another book. He was appointed the first Chaplain of the Naval Academy when it opened in Annapolis in 1845, where he served as Librarian as well. Later Jones joined Matthew C. Perrys expedition to Japan, 1852-1854, and was a substantial contributor to the three-volume report of the expedition. See Smith II, 2596 - "The author served as a schoolmaster", and Drury's "U.S. Naval Chaplains" p. 114. This is quite a scarce book in the trade. It is an untrimmed copy. However, it has been rebound in perfunctory modern half calf over marbled boards. The former owner pasted his bookplate onto the title page of volume I, and it has left glue marks at the bottom of the page. The folding frontispiece map in volume II has been bound in upside down, and the title page of this volume has a faint but visible oval blindstamp of a public library. This set is priced accordingly. Two volumes, 11.5 x 19.5 cm. viii, 284; vii, 286, (1 errata) pp. b/w maps and plates.
